It is possible for medication such as hydrocodone to go bad. The medication will have an expiration date posted on the outside of the bottle. A person should dispose of the medication once it has expired.
Yes, like all medication, magnesium citrate oral solution has an expiration date. It is important to check the expiration date on the bottle before use, and discard any medication that has expired. Expired medication may not be as effective or safe to use.
Contact your doctor to see whether it is harmful. Make sure to bring the original bottle and all the correct manuals with you.
You should not take ranitidine after the expiry date that is located on the bottle. If you have a type of medication like this that has expired, then inquire with the pharmacist or your doctor BEFORE you attempt to take it. If they say that it wouldn't be safe, then go and get another prescription, and throw out those pills.
There are many things that can go wrong in a medicine, depending upon what type of medicine it is. Primarily, most medicines can degrade, which means the chemicals weaken. The drug is then less effective for the purpose it is needed. For example, if an antibiotic's chemical make-up weakens, it will not fight the infection as it should if the medication was not expired. When someone with an infection takes an expired medication, the bacteria then continue to multiply, unchecked. The person would get sicker even though taking the expired antibiotic. I would just go out and buy a new bottle or obtain a new prescription.
Yeah!!
You should not be using expired medication, especially since it is over 10 years old. By this time, the drug has broken down significantly into inert chemical mixtures and since the content is unknown, it can be potentially harmful for you. I would advice you to discard the medication.

It is legal. It's legal unless the patient not getting his medicine could be fatal. The doctor's most likely doing this because he thinks the bottle was emptied to fast and that the patient could be taking too much or distributing it or whatever.
