Pain Killers
Posted: 08-09-07 20:47pm

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Outdated Pain Medication

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.

Hope you are doing okay.
