Old Tylenol-3

[acculyizdolan]

I recently discovered some Tylenol-3 that expired in 2011, they appear to still be completely white. Are they ok to take or should I just discard them?

They are probably still ok, it's hasn't been expired that long. Few drugs, like certain antibiotics turn caustic when they age.

Do a cold water extraction if you plan to take more than a couple.

if they were stored in a dry dark cool space they will be just as good as new if not the may have lost a little potency

I would eat them without a doubt, shouldn't be an issue if they look fine. They might not be as strong, but the difference will be hardly noticeable.

 

[Venrak]

they're fine, CWE away.

As everyone has said, they're probably still almost full strength. The expiry date is the shelf date, the pills will last 5-7 years easily in the proper temperature.
