However, other things like tetracycline can break down after they expire to cause kidney toxicity. Bottom line is to find out before you take expired medication, like ask a pharmacist.

I keep cold medications in a plastic shoebox in my closet labeled “Pharmacy.” I’d rather use the space in my medicine cabinet for things I use on a regular basis like cosmetics. Either way, if I feel a little cold coming on I know exactly where my stash is. In the event I must go to the pharmacy, I get only what I need and get out.

Guess I’m a little cynical tonight. When feeling punk, shopping would be the last thing I’d want to do. Listen to Guru Donna. She’s right. Be prepared.

He said: Most medication is good for ten years.

The end.

C’mon, you know the guilt trip I’m talking about!

I always keep a basket in my linen closet with “cold & flu supplies”. The idea about pet food is great. I’m a bad pet mama, didn’t even think of that! lol

It is not dangerous to take expired stuff. The worst that can happen is that it loses some potency. So your idea of taking it and seeing if it works is a good one.

You’ve been so kind to me — I wanted to return the favor. I just started adding blog photos, and found a terrific FREE source. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll pass on the wealth.
