got codeine from doctor, expiration date?

hey so i was really sick a couple months ago and the doctor gave me a bottle of codeine but i think its old now. does stuff like that go bad? can is till take a little? thanks guys.

The "freshness" date is usually one year. The bottle should have that info on it on the lower right hand corner.

sick if its one year then im good cuz its only like 3 months old. sweet thanks. well. i alraedy took it haha so even if it was bad id be fucked anyway so w.e./

I once had a teacher tell us that prescriptions are good 6-12 months beyond the date on the package. In other words the pills should be fine like tootsie roll said. ;) Be careful tho they can really mess up your stomach if u don't eat.

how did it last 3 months?.... lol

HA...3 months! 3 weeks!!LOL

If its only a cople of months your fine...........I dont really no about codiene compounds i suppose it depends what else is in it.

But i know that codeine sulphate usually lasts for up to twenty years without losing its potency(if stored correctly of course) Theres numerous anecdotes out there bout folk finding like Morphine and codiene based medicines in there loft that were like 50 years old and they worked fine......

But check the expirey date in my expereiince it will prob be okay for a couple of months outside that

Peace
