That is not true of all medications, there are some that get dangerous past their expiration, please always dispose of expired medications.

My husband was prescribed Hydroco/Apap back on 12.03.2007. Right now he's experiencing back pain. Could he take these meds to help relieve the pain even though its over a year old?

They do lose effectiveness, so consulting a doctor for a new prescription is always the best option.
