Signs Of Percocet Being Expired. No Label
UpdatedHave a bottle of Percs for emergency. Tweaked my back and was going to take 2. Cannot read the expiration label (worn out) just wanted to know what signs of expired meds are. They are extremely powdery and look battered down. Is super chalky and powdery a good sign its too old to do anything or is that irrelevant?

Dear Rick, usually a prescription is good 4 one year from the date u got it. But u said u couldn't read it. And, by the way u described the condition of them, I wouldn't take the chance. Medications can still be ok after 1 year, but, they lose their potency . Maybe call your Dr and get a new script? I hope this info. Helps u.
Hi Rick,
This might be a bit surprising, but Harvard Medical School did a study showing that many types of medications can actually retain their potency for up to 15 years beyond the expiration date.
So it's possible that what you have may vary well be good if it was stored properly.

How long do you think you may have had those lying around for?
