I bought 100 amoxicillin caps about 3 years ago and stored them in a dark place and I was curious if they would still be good to take.

I have some 500 caps that expired in June 2017. I just need to use them for a week for a UTI. They should still be good right.

You're rude and probably young.....not everyone can afford to buy meds. If you don't know what you're talking about....keep your mouth shut!

I always have some on hand too, only because I need to take it prior to dental appointments.

Why not if they saved it. It's amoxicillin it's not illegal. I save stuff up in my cabinet I don't finish most ppl do.

The miltary extends their tablet and capsule form amoxicillin expirations by 12 to 66 months. They can hold up to 90% of their efficacy for 66 months in the ideal environment... most people don't store medicine in a dark, cold, and dry place though. Bottom line... it won't hurt you... at worst it is degraded to a point where it won't help. And too all the people bashing on self treatment.... the United states medical system is a joke... I know when I have an infection, I know when I just have a cold, I know when and what I need from a doctor 99% of the time... the only reason I have to go to the doctor to get it, is because everyone wants a cut of the money.

I got mine in Mexico over the counter. If you do need one they will write one for you. So that is why I have it around.

What if the amoxicillin is only about a month expired? I thought I took it all and I have a cold right now. Was looking for something else and noticed they were in my bathroom drawer. Would they still be safe with being only about 1 month old?

I have taken care of feral cats for years. Meaning food water shelter. I also have rescued abandoned cats to become indoor cats. Certain medications like amoxicillin I keep in case needed for feral cat. It appears to have helped. Broken down into powder & mixed into wet can cat food.

Dont be so quick to jump to conclusions. I have antibiotics left over quite often simply because one doctor prescribes, then for whatever reason refers me to a specialist who tells me to take the med they prescribe, thus leaving me with an almost full bottle of antibiotocs.
