Random question...I work construction and
i had some back pain so i dug through the
med cabinet and found some old pain
killers and took one. I looked at the
bottle a little better and saw that they
had expired in 97! Any chance that could
hurt me?

Outdated Pain Medication Posted: 08-12-07 20:47pm
Hello Simon,
I hope that you only took the one tablet.
I would not recommend that you take any
more of the 10 year pain medication. It
is possible that the breakdown products
could produce a negative side effect.
SOOOOoooo Simon, see your doctor and get
some NEW medication for pain if your
doctor recommends it.
