A member asked:

I have medications which have been kept for many years and the packaging has turned yellow but they havent expired. can i still take them or discard?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discard them: i would recommend you get rid of them responsibly. Your pharmacy could tell if they're safe or not, if you want a specialist expert opinion, & they can properly dispose of it too. Hope that helps.
