[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2427406, member: 8373"] According to my internist- Meds don't "expire", but they do lose they potency over time. The expiration date is just so they can sell you more pills (his words). If they are 3-4 years out of the expiration date, then yeah, they won't be as effective, but going a year or two past that is fine. I am sure there are exceptions, particularly liquid medicines, but most hard pill forms are good to go. Even inhalents are good for a long time past the due date. This was told to me a few years ago by my doc. He was giving me some samples and he told me this because he gave way more than I could use before the expiration date. [/QUOTE]
