What is the shelf life of Hydrocodone?

A pharmacist will tell you that 6 months is about as long as you should keep it. However, it doesn't actually go bad. It just loses its potency. I've had the stuff left over from surgery that I took a year later. It still did the trick

Most sunscreen has a 3-5 year shelf life.  There should be an expiration date on the bottle; if not, here's a link to what the codes mean:\n\nhttp://www.uspharmacist.com/index.asp?show=article&page=8_1323.htm#T1

All supplements have an expiry date, but not all makers include them on the bottle (or box)...or make them hard to find. Sometimes you'll find a code on the bottle in place of an obvious date. This code may mean the expiry date, but you have to contact the company to find out what it translates to.

Hydrocodone and oxycodone are two different things. Oxycodone is also known as OxyContin. Vicodin is a mix of hydrocodone and tylenol (acetaminophen). Is that what you were thinking of? If you want to know whats actually IN hydocodone you would have to look at a break down of its chemical structure. Hope that helps.

I'm assuming it's dry powder form. In that case it should last a long time, because bacteria and funguses need moisture to live. Is there an expiry date on the package?\n\nAnyway, if you're suspicious about whether it's spoiled, be careful. If it's spoiled it could give you a belly ache.

Up to 3 days.  Five to be safe.  I sure hope this is not from using codeine illegally.  Codeine is water-soluable, therefore, it does not take long for it to be flushed from your system.  Other drugs that stay in your system for 30 days are fat soluable.  Means stored in your fat cells which takes longer to purge from your body. Use your browser by typing in codeine and it will give you several sites to choose from.  Good luck.

my daughter works at a pharmacy and she said when the medicine expires it loses some of its potency so it may not work as well.

Look at expiration date on bottle.  If you don't see one, throw it away and get a new one(look at its exp. date to make sure it isn't expired too)

It is generally a good idea to refrigerate all antibiotics in ampules or pills if the temperature is likely to get above 30 deg C. It can do no harm and greatly increases shelf life for most medications.

hydrocodone goes by the trade name "vicodin, lorcet or Norco" Oxycodone is also known as "percocet, oxycontin"  the main differnces are their effect on the body.  Hydrocodone is a Schedule controlled substance, but oxycodone is a Narcotic.  They essensially have effect of relieving pain, but oxycodone is much stronger.

Usually they are valid for one year from the date of issue. The only exception to this rule is for pain meds...they expire sooner. Not sure if it is 3 months or 6 months for pain meds. \n\nCall your pharmacy and ask them specifics. You don't have to give your name. Just ask about the expiration dates. \n\nGood luck! Hope you feel better.

In order to increase shell life, aspirin are usually stored in cool place because aspirin contains salicylic acid which deteriorates in warm condition which in thus would result in loose the effectiveness of the drug. \n    The reason for it to be stored in dark place because aspirin contains light sensitive ingredients which in the presence of light causes these ingredients to alter its conformation at molecular level which in thus would result in drug to loose its effectiveness. \n\nOverall just keep them in dark and at room temperature places and dont mess with them.
