I’m not a doctor, but I know that many countries DON’T have expiration dates. I think it is just fine to take the pill, since many countries don’t even think that a pill ever expires.

the ones from 7/07 and 1/07 should be ok. the ones from 1/07 is fine. but wont have as high of a strength. the others are too old to do you any good anyways.

it is not harmful but it will not do anything to you so it would be pointless.
once they are expired they don’t work.

The pills from 2002 expiration date should be taken to your local drug recycling clinic. The others are fine yet.

the one w/ cod liver oil is fine, because all that does is make your skin oily. but all the others i really would not take. if you know some one in the u.s. have them buy them for you and then ship them to you. because you could really do some great damage.

I am not a doctor, but my knowledged opinion is that the pills that expired in 2002 should not be used. I am sure that the 2007 expiring pills are still good, even though they have passed the date.

I was told that some medication loose their strengh after a year. So if I have old medication I usually take them to the pharmacy and get the approval of the Pharmacist.
I know that medication is very expensive especially if there is no coverage but it’s better be safe then sorry.

Some medication (like tetracycline) can be toxic after their expiration date. Some only lose their potency. To be safe call your local pharmacy and tell them what you have. They will tell you if it’s safe to take. With no answer, I’d be safe and discard.

I’m with those who told you not to take the old ones. First of all, they do lose their strenght and secondly, we don’t really know what sort of reactions your body may have to the rest of the chemicals in them. Another suggestion was to ask a pharmacist, I second that, it won’t hurt to see what they can help you with.
It if was me, I wouldn’t take them.
Zurdita, before you start instulting people here, read what you post first, cause you seem more stupid than anything for assuming. Ignorance is not a virtue dear.

NO! The chemicals get either stronger or weaker, you never know which way it can go. They are very toxic!!!!!!!!!!!
