A member asked:

Can i take my old, expired codeine cough syrup (says use before 12/11/2013) instead of filling the new prescription for it i just received from my doc?

No you should not: We strongly advice you to throw away the exored codeine cough syrup which expired more than 15 months ago. It may not even be effective and moreover it may make you sick as exposure to light,air and many other factors causing breakdown and mixing of ingredients may be harmful
