A member asked:
Could it be bad for you to take left over vicodin pills after their needed use is expired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: The fact that you are taking old vicodin tells me you may be taking it for another problem that you have not seen you pcp about. Best to check with your doctor if you are having difficulties. The expire date does not necessarily mean the drug is unsafe, but it may lose potency.
