Once the cough mixture has been open,how long can we keep the cough mixture?after a year can we drink it?

Open bottle medicin: Pills are usually stable for a year and should be discarded afterward. Liquids are more labile and are usually unstable 2 weeks to 1 month after opening/formulating SO DO NOT USE THE COUGH MEDICINE THROW IT AWAY
