Best Answer

You should not take any medicines that are past their expiry date. The best case scenario is that the active ingredient will have broken down and so the medicine will not have any effect. In the worst case the chemicals will have changed over time and may have become toxic leading to severe reactions or poisoning.

Is it safe to take medicine from a bottle of hydro PC ii that was prescribed in 2002?

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.

Does headache medicine expire?

"Even 10 years after the "expiration date," most drugs have a good deal of their original potency. So wisdom dictates that if your life does depend on an expired drug, and you must have 100% or so of its original strength, you should probably toss it and get a refill, in accordance with the cliché, "better safe than sorry." If your life does not depend on an expired drug -- such as that for headache, hay fever, or menstrual cramps -- take it and see what happens." http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/460159
