How Safe Are Hydrocodone Pills After The Expiration Date?
I have had kidney stones that I don,t think have exited, only moved. I have some hydrocodone f in case I have another attack. My question is how effective is it after the expiration date? I have not had to use them in over a year so I still have the same 10 pills I was prescribed.
