The manufactuers place the expiration dates on meds to ensure potency or effectiveness.
The truth is that over time, medications lose their potency, rendering them useless. This is good news in that you will not become ill from the medication, But---in the case of anticonvulsants, you could increase the chances of having a seizure because the med may not be doing the job it is supposed to because it may be weaker.
Most of the time, medications are good for several months after the date printed on the bottle.
Your pharmacist would know for sure.

Thats a question for your local 24 hour pharmacist. Some of them will just lose thier potency. That can be dangerous in a person who is dose sensitive. Some drugs become toxic as they degrade with time.
There are a lot of variables involved.
Get one of those doctors of drugs (yeah, pharmacists are doctors that specialize in drugs) on the phone and give him the specifics. He'll know the questions to ask.
Best of luck and wishes -

i replaced into in wellbeing center after breaking my leg and replaced into playing the oral morphine that the nurses have been administering so i stated that i replaced into in loads of discomfort to get extra.What i did no longer understand is that i replaced into nil with the help of mouth so as that they gave me a severe high quality enormous injection of morphine and it hit me like a tone of bricks, i all started freaking the **** out for about 15-20 minutes then in basic terms drifted off right into a dream worldwide for a pair of hours lol. does not propose abusing something like that tho, even in wellbeing center as i replaced into very uncomfortable and panicky for those 20 minutes.

bad side effects is in a lot of form, and there is no definite explanation of it so it is better to not give any out dated/expired medicine
