Nierenberg-Meds Past Expiry Date

Posted by PaulB on October 19, 2001, at 14:58:14

I would like to ask a question concerning medications that have passed their expiry date. The question just roused my curiousity although I do have a friend who is studying pharmacology and would be interested in your response.
Q: Can antidepressant medications and benzodiazepines that are past their expiry date still be effective and if so for how long, years?
My educated guess would be that, in general with medications, with the exception of some antibiotics, the deterioration with time is minimal.
Thanks
