Morphine or any drug should not be used after the expiration date
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Any medicine is combined with additives which are chemical substances to retain the potency of the drug.
2. The expiration date is decided keeping in mind the drug and additive which helps to maintain the pharmacological properties.
3. After the expiry date is over the drug is rendered dangerous for consumption and should be discarded. Beyond this it can cause serious side effects.
In conclusion, it is a long time since your morphine solution has got expired and therefore unfit for use.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
