Vicodin Shelf life?

[Syd_Barret]

How long does Vicodin stay "good"
Rather how long till it loses a good amount of potency
I know someone selling em cheap dollar a piece but i think they are a year old will, will it have lost any of its potency by now? Like half or more? 1/4?

Cool thnx
and can anyone tell me if all generic brands of Vicodin have their name imprinted on the tablet?
for instance the generic brand watson says watson on the pill and some number on the back
do all generic brands work like this?
Are some unlabeled?

You as ask a lot of questions...
1) Vicodin does not "go bad" ... 20 years from now those pills will still be good ..
2) Most generics do NOT have their name stamped into the pill - only the imprint numbers .. there are currently about 17 generic companies that all produce their own forms of the drug, some stamp some name or logo on the pill, others only stamp numbers..

i can personally vouch that pill opiates&benzos last a LONG time. ive had different things from the mid 80s and all worked quite nicely.
