According to my pharmacist, after four years they can still be anywhere from 50 to 100 percent active, depending on the make or even the individual patch in each box. He suggested possibly trying the stage one patches I had that were old, as stage two patches. He also said it's definitely NOT a waste to try them as they will not release anything toxic into your system. At the worst, they MAY not work, in which case you would try another patch. He recommended, though, to never use two expired patches together, in case you do manage to get patches with a combined dosage of over 100%. So, DON'T throw them out - give 'em a try. If you don't feel any relief after an hour, try a new one and discard the old. Good luck with your struggle - it is worth it in the end to be finally rid of nicotine!
