Is it ok to take prescription medicine even after it expired?

Question

I have really bad migraines and so my Dr. prescribed morphine but it expired last month, is it ok to still take it?

Answer 1

It should be fine if it only expired a month ago.  Usually, the worst that will happen with expired medication is that they will have decreased effectiveness.  I have a suspicion that drug companies would love even shorter expiration periods.  

Answer 2

With such time of expiration you can use morphine though it is not recommended. In my opinion morphine is too strong medication to cure migraines and not very effective. Try these instead http://bisina.info/order_migraines_en-us...  

Answer 3

No, it can affect your health since it has expired or not work due tu inactivation of the active compound.
