It's time to clean out your medicine cabinet. The same medications that helped you feel better at one time, could now make you sick if safety precautions are not taken.
All medications have an expiration date.
Over the counter drugs have an expiration date on the package or bottle. If there is no expiration date, use the date the prescription was filled as a guide. There could be a serious drug interaction between the old medication and any new medication you may be taking, including over the counter medication and herbs. So, be wise. Discard any prescribed medications taken for a previous illness.
