Best Answer

Studies have been done showing that many prescription medications can remain safe and effective for months or even years past their expiration dates, if the choice is between expired medication or no medication.

However, the safest practice is generally to throw away medicines on their expiration date, especially those that require refrigeration.

Here's the deal: you're talking about your health, here, and Darvocet has been pulled off the market in the US; perhaps it's time to get a new prescription for a drug that's still actually being sold?
