What Does A Date Drug Look Like

I just got a prescription filled for oxycodone 10 milligram On the 18th I have another prescription hard script written for the 21st will I be able to go to a pharmacy and pay cash for that ## If you're next fill is due should be fine. Most pharmacies/states allow 3 days before next fill. Also depends upon your relationship with the pharmacy/rph. Depends upon a lot of things. Just be honest and look presentable. ## If it is the same dosage, same medication and within just a few days of each other, then no and it won't matter if you're paying cash or not. Controlled substance prescriptions are reported to the government and logged in a central database, so once punched in the computer, it would come up that you've just had one filled.

Today is 04/2016. Can I take MiraLAX when it expired on 11/2015? If not, how do I dispose the of contents, down the sink or the toilet? ## According to the frequently asked questions on MiraLAX.com, "It is not recommended to use MiraLAX beyond the labeled expiration date.” As to the method of disposal, you should leave it in the sealed container and dispose of it with your regular household trash. Additional product information from DailyMed: [1] ## How long will the laxative Purelax work if it expired 12/15? ## I've never known Miralax to be a liquid so your answer isn't really an answer.

bought B12 at GMC it does not have the lot number or expiration date to know if this bottle is still good or not. ## Hi Isabel, If you recently bought your B12 from 'GNC' without a lot number or expiration date, I would encourage you to go back and check their other bottles to see if they list anything as well. In the event that none of them do, perhaps it would also be a good idea to contact the manufacturer who makes this product directly, by looking up their name online and retrieving the company's contact info that way. If this turns into a dead end, maybe you can get GNC to refund your money for a product that has no expiration details that allow customers to evaluate its long term safety/efficacy. I know stores like Vitamin Shoppe allow customers to make a return/excha...

My brother is taking this tamol-x and he said this is like an energy supplement. Is that true? ## From what I can find, Tamol-X is only listed as containing Acetaminophen/Paracetamol. It's a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat pain and swelling. What country are you in? ## I would like to know if tamol-x should be used like a drug, or if it's only a normal supplement? ## I bought Tramol-X and it doesn't look like it does in its pic on the internet. There is no writing on the back and the expiration date exp looked like it is stamped by blue color. Is it real? ## I am taking half a tablet every day for six years and I want to find a way to discontinue it. ## I got some from overseas in another country, but I haven't taken them because I don't know what they a...

I found a fentanyl patch in the closet that's probably 3 months old , it wasnt ever used but it's out of its packaging . Can I still use it ? ## Hello Hunter, Yes like all medications they have an expiration date. I'm looking right now at some old 100mcg/hr for 72 hours that I use to use. I got them from the pharmacy about 6 months ago and their expiration date is Aug. 2016 So that would be about a 1 year and 8 months expiration since it was dispensed. As long as the backing hasn't been removed it should be OK and stick to the skin. Be sure to apply it where you have the most fat tissue for best absorption. DO NOT try and ingest any part of the patch's active ingredient. It can cause an overdose! The total amount of Fentanyl in the 100mcg/hr patch is 11mg total and t...

Hi, anyone tried expired ambien or a drug similar to zolpidem (z-drug), especially if it's been years since it's expiration date, and what was the effect? Is it still as good as it used to be? I have seen studies showing that some drugs practically never expire. One study found 50 year old barbiturates that still had over 100% potency left! Another study looked at ambien for NASA space station, it found that 2 year expired ambien still had about 101% of potency left. If it's true that ambien is similar to barbiturates in this regard, in theory, it should still be near 100% potent even 50 years past it's manufacturing date provided it's stored in optimal conditions. But I would like to hear your experiences about it. ## I have a script that is 3 years old and as I sto...

HOW CAN I GET OF ALL SCHEDULE WISE LIST ALL INDIAN DRUGS? ## You may have better luck asking your local doctor or pharmacist for more information regarding this; simply because other countries outside of the U.S do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does, so international drug information is very difficult to locate online. The information you are looking for is difficult to locate even here in the states, and I'm not sure why that is, but they obviously don't want the public to have easy access to it or it would be the first thing to come up under a google search. The most recent information I can find regarding "New Drugs Approved for Marketing in India" dates back from 1999 to 2005: Not sure if this is the type of information you were looking...

What is this ## its a cold pill, I have it in a blister pack. it has guaifensin 200mg & phenylephrine hcl 5mg for cough and runny nose. 2 pills for a dose ## Just to update, I am not sure if the contents of this tablet were different when this post was made in 2009, sometimes the formulation and ingredients are changed. Thus, I am just going to put in the information as currently listed in March of 2013 and the listings as of this date show this tablet as solely containing 400mgs of Guaifenesin, which is an expectorant that's used to treat cold symptoms. Learn more Guaifenesin details here. There are no strict regulations regarding how often they can change the formulations and/or imprints of over the counter pills, so if at some future point someone is looking for this informat...

Batch number and expiry date for paracetamol manufactured in 2011 ## Pls confirm the expiry date of paracetamol tablet mfg in Oct 2013 ## Hello, Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a public way to look up medication by the batch number to verify such information. From what I understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong), batch numbers are generally only used by the manufacturer to keep track of production...Once it hits the shelf batch numbers don't appear to have any use, unless there's a recall or something of that nature which pinpoints specific packages. Perhaps speaking with a pharmacist can add some clarity to this? Concerning the expiration of Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen or Tylenol), investing in a fresh product is always going to be your safest...

I had Prozac fluxitine in my fridge and I went in the fridge and picked up the bottle I taken 10ml of it and it tasted funny and wen I looked at the date it was the wrong bottle it was 2 month out of date just askin for some advise really coz feeling abit sick now ## Hello, Serah! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? The medication doesn't become toxic, once expired, but the liquid could turn rancid, which can cause nausea and vomiting. The best thing to do, in the future, would be to dispose of the expired medication.

I have some Hydrocodone 5mg/500mg they expired 2009 would they still be ok to take? ## This medication which is a generic for Vicodin doesn't get dangerous once it's past the expiration date, but it does lose effectiveness, so after 3 years, they aren't likely to do much in the way of pain relief.

Hi all! Was wondering what would happen in my situation. Today I went to Walgreen's with my sister to run an errand and while I was there, I wanted to ask which day my Norco script was due to be refilled (I wasn't sure if it was Friday or Saturday). I go to a PM doctor for degenerative disc & have been taking Norco since December. I asked the girl if she could check which day I was eligible for refill although this wasn't my normal Walgreen's but I figured since Walgreen's has a computer system, they can look up exactly when my script is ready. (I wasn't planning on filling it there because according to my PM contract I must fill at one pharmacy. I just wanted the date checked.) She asked me randomly if I was taking the medication as scheduled, not really pay...

found pill that is oblong,white, chalky has letters ABRS 123 ## This is generic potassium chloride extended release tablets 25mgeq, for the name brand Slow-K and a host of others.

White round pill. No marks. First time I've seen this med with no mark. ## Hello, Survivor! How are you? If there are no markings on the tablet, then it is not a U.S. prescription medication. They are all required to have markings to enable their identification. If it has no markings, it is most likely some type of over the counter product, though there is also a small chance that it could be a foreign medication. Where was it found/obtained? That might help me to know where to look for an identification. ## I know which ones he is referring to. They are in blister packs. All white pills.

blue round dividing line on back an R on one side and 031 ## I ordered 1mg. xanax - saying to make sure it's the blue tablet. They SAY they are a Parke-Davis company.

I received a prescription for seconal 100mg in 2006. It has not been opened and kept in the dark. What are the chances that it is still active? If it is not 100% active can you estimate it's activity? Could it be 50% active? Thank you. ## Hello, Jack! How are you? Is it in a bottle from your pharmacy, or the original factory sealed bottle? If it's in a pharmacy bottle, then that does count as being opened, since it was removed from the original container and it would have expired one year from the date of dispensing. And no, I can't even guess at the level of effectiveness that may remain, but I doubt its much, if any. It would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. ## The seconal is in an official looking container from Ranbaxy Pharmaceutical...
