Yes, in general: If stored under good conditions (appropriate temperature and humidity and light) the medicines are supposed to maintain their potency at least through their experation date (printed on the label). Over time all chemicals can deteriorate. That's most important to be careful with meds for serious conditions such as seizure disorders or high BP. Ambien (zolpidem) is just to make you sleepy, not so serious.

Maybe: The usual upper dose for a male is 10 mg. However, everyone is different. 15 mg is too much for some and not enough for another. If you have a concern, consult your prescriber.
