It depends on the medications. Some lose their potency with time, while others may become dangerous with time.

A common advice given is to flush them down the commode. However, the problem with that is that they may end up in drinking water. Certain drugs are hard to filter out of the water supply. You could throw them away, but someone may get them and misuse them.
