A member asked:

Would it be fine to take belladonna/phenobarbital tablets from 2002?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Any medication that is that old should not be kept around the house. Dispose of it properly. It is unlikely to have much potency left, but you never know. Assume nothing. To find out the actual shelf life, a pharmacist might be able to give you specifics.
