Can you take expired medicine?

Most medications are completely fine if taken past the expiration date. The FDA wants drug companies to include a date that they will know for sure that it is still 100% viable. But most companies do not test their products past 2-3 years, so that is what they put down as their expiration date.

But many drugs have been tested independently 5-6 years down the road and have been found to still be completely good. Aspirin especially has a great shelf life. The pharmaceutical companies like to include the dates on their products so that people will throw out the "old" stuff and then buy more Some exceptions include more "exotic" drugs; the more complex the drug, the more likely it will break down.

Though, this still takes a generous amount of time, and that it is still 90+% effective usually. Liquid medications also lose some of the effectiveness faster than anything in a solid form A good rule of thumb in any case is that if your life depends on the drug, and it is expired, then you probably should not rely on it. Your life is not worth the savings from not getting a new Rx.

And as always, feel free to consult your doctor if you have any questions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
