5 Mg 325 Oxycodone/acetaminophen

Updated

I have had several pain intensive surgeries followed by Dr. prescrptions of Vicodin & Percocet on various occasions in the past. Each time I would have surplus meds (with dispose of dates listed on container) leftover after pain subsided. My question is do these meds have a shelf life where they become ineffective or worse, toxic?

No, these types of medications do not become toxic, but they will start to lose effectiveness past the expiration date. There's no precise time frame to give, because it depends on storage conditions, but the one year date from the pharmacy is the maximum time they can be sure they'll remain fully effective.

Learn more Percocet details here.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks for the expiration info. What would be the "responsible" method of disposal? We are rural and on a septictank/lagoon sewage system, so I am hesitant to flush. Also do not wish to contribute narcotics to a landfill.
