Taking Mytussin Ac Syrup If It Is 2 Years Old
UpdatedI had Bronchitis, in July of 2005 I got a prescription for Mytussin AC Syrup, I only took it until my cold was gone and then quit taking it and didnt throw it away. It is now March of 2007 and I have Bronchitis again. Would it be bad and what could happen if I took my medicine I have??

Mine is 3 yrs old and I just drank some and I had some last night. It smells really strong, but I didn't get any xtra sick, can't say if it really helped my cough though
This contains Codeine, Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine.
That said, there is nothing in this that creates a danger past the expiration, however, it should not be kept/used, because the components do break down and lose their effectiveness, so you will not get good results, like you probably did when it was new.
The codeine is also a narcotic, so you may experience side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and dizziness.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
