Please do not: This is at least 8 years expired. The medication probably is not be effective anymore. Make a quick call to your dentist to have a prescription called in.

Bad idea: You should not take expired medications. While it may not be dangerous, the medication may not be effective, and it's just not a good habit to make.

Yes, but why?: If the medication is expired, it will not be as effective and isn't a good idea. If you are having pain from surgery, i would suggest you contact your doctor so you may obtain a current prescription. Keep smiling.
