Expired Medications

Every time you clean house, check the medicine cabinet for expired drugs.
Toss out old ones and replace with new.

How often do you clean out your medicine cabinet?
If you’re like most Americans, chances are you don’t do it very often.
Keeping a surplus of expired medications can be dangerous.
A drug’s potency is only guaranteed until its “best if used by” date.
After that, all bets are off.

If you have asthma and need to use your inhaler, or have a heart condition that requires aspirin or nitroglycerin tablets, you could be putting your life at risk.
To play it safe, regularly replace all expired medications that you might need.
