Pain Patch

Updated

I was prescribed fentanyl patches in May of 2010. I never opened them, and want to know if they would still be good.

What's the expiration date on them?

Fentanyl is a narcotic and it doesn't become dangerous if it is old or expired, but it can lose effectiveness and since the patches are made with a type of gel, it might have started to solidify a little, which means you would absorb less of the medication.

Common side effects to these may include: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and dizziness.
