Look for an expiration date before you do. I dont think you should take anything that is 5 years old unless the expiration date is up to date. The expiration date is exactly one year after the day you got it filled at the pharmacy. You should never take expired medications. Some people do, and they are fine. But others are left with some severe complications, while others receive no effect from the medication at all since they are expired and no longer work. Is it really worth the risk? Just go to the doctor, and tell him that you need an updated prescription. He will evaluate you and will probably update the prescription for you. Be sure to bring the other bottle (empty of course) with you.

You can flush the expired medication.
