> But outside of that, getting rid of unused pills is good practice. These pills are going to expire. Once they do, you can no longer rely on them doing what you expect. Evidence required. Expiration dates are put on many things as a CYA, but I don't expect dry chemicals destined for human (or animal!) use kept in an airtight container protected from the sunlight to degrade within 10 years. Should they degrade, the question is into what, and how much: 5% degradation into what the human body breaks the chemical into should have no consequence. > FYI: Check with your pharmacy about bringing unused medicine to them to dispose of properly instead of putting it in the trash. Or just keep it and use it as needed, solving both of your problems at once!
