Tussionex Ext Rel Sus Side Effects

If med has expired, does that mean it's ineffective? Or stronger? Mine expired 10/09.

Thank you.

Hi Teri,

Certain drugs are actually okay to take after expiration, whereas others such as antibiotics can become toxic. Tussionex contains a combination of Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone. My personal assumption is that it lost a good percentage of its potency by now, having been over 2 years old.

It may still be effective, but not nearly as potent. It's also impossible to give a direct answer to this question, since each medication can effect people differently. We all know that it's better to avoid the expired drugs and stay on the safe side, but unfortunately, the only way to find out is to actually try it.

As far as side effects go for this medication, I'd recommend following the link below and scrolling down to the section called "Adverse effects" for more information:

I hope this helps!
