Can I Take Expired Hydrocodone For Severe Toothache?
It is more of a medicine question. I have a nasty toothache, tooth broke. I have an appointment tomorrow with a dentist however right now the pain is insane. I have some old Hydrocodone from a while back when I had a tooth pulled however it is expired, just want to know if it will hurt me to take or not.

Hello and welcome
Please do not take expired medicines at any cost.
The date in the prescription clearly signifies that the drug will show no reaction or adverse reaction after that date.
Theerfore please buy new medicine and take it till you see your dentist.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
