[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1586682, member: 9374"] They do actually become significantly less-effective over time. I know some drugs where the effect is noticeable within about 6 months after expiration. I wouldn't bother with stuff more than a year out of date or so, unless it's a last-ditch and you have no other choice. The potency and shelf-life has been extensively studied and documented and varies significantly not only by drug but by storage method, as well, i.e., temp, light exposure, air exposure, etc. Don't bet your life on expired meds.
