Expired medication: Never take expired medicine . Get rid of it .Expired medications may be less potent and some actually breakdown and can cause side effects. Below is a site that directs you to places that take back expired medicines ( many walgreens particpate) http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/EnsuringSafeUseofMedicine/SafeDisposalofMedicines/ucm186187.htm
