I filled a prescription for Avinza (morphine) 60 mg in 2008 and I happen to have a few left. Would it still work or should I just dispose of it?

Without a visual reference it would be difficult to estimate the age and or condition.

Have old ampoules of morphine as a powder with a cork at both ends. Can anybody throw some light on its age and history?

Morphine doesn't get dangerous, when it's expired, but it does lose effectiveness and, after 10 years, I doubt there is much potency left to treat pain and do much of anything.

This is a narcotic, so in case there is some potency left, you also shouldn't try taking more to get the same effect, because you could run the risk of overdose.

Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth.
