Loperamide out of date

Paul HMember

Hola everyone from sunny dry Catalonia in Spain.

Not been here for a ages as I'm relatively well finally since my surgery in 2014.

However I have 100 plus Kirkland Loperamide caplets expiry date 09/16. I take them from time to time & they sort of work but maybe not as much as they should. I bought some Spanish equilivent to compare & didn't notice much difference. I'm leaning towards dumping them & all the other Codeine based stuff that's out of date but then again not sure.

What do you guys think? I've even got Diamorphine tablets from 1997 when my Dad was passing, I've always kept them in case I needed to end it due to hell on earth arriving (probably not so far away these days).

Love n hugs to all

Paul

I spoke with a pharmacist friend of mine.

his take is that while you can usually go past expiration dates and be ok; 6 years is really way past the time for any drug to maintain its efficacy. His advice and mine would be to get a new batch at this point.
