Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have 3 year old percosets. I m an adult who just had a tonsillectomy and I m running out of medication. Is Is it ok to take the ones that I found? I m on a tight budget and trying to avoid paying for another prescription. They have been in my safe…. Thank you!
It would depend on the expiration date on the medication. If the medication is still within the expiration date then it can be used but if this time has passed then it should not be used.
Once the date has passed then the medication will not be effective and the metabolism and side effect profile may also be different.
I hope this helps

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It would depend on the expiration date on the medication. If the medication is still within the expiration date then it can be used but if this time has passed then it should not be used. Once the date has passed then the medication will not be effective and the metabolism and side effect profile may also be different. I hope this helps
