Love your videos! So much useful information and no I haven't seen any videos on RUclips explaining about the shelf life of medications. This is the first and it's very useful. Mahalo!
As far as LR it has a much longer shelf life than 2 years past due. In one of the gulf wars, I'm pretty sure it was the current one, they were found to be using LR that was up to 8 years expired, with no ill effects to the pt. I wish I could post the link to the study, but I'm sure if you usaed the right "phrasing" you could pull it up on google. It was also a more recent study than the 95' one.
@ZLUVCRUCE Interesting, I haven't read that. when Bayer has tested four-year-old aspirin, it remained 100% effective, this is past the experation date, so I am not sure about it being lethal. I am confused as why Bayer would release this information if it was lethal after it expired.
@ZLUVCRUCE I've taken aspirin that's years passed exp without a problem. I've never heard of any fatalities related to expired aspirin. Any documented cases on that? P.S. I'm no medic, just surprised and curious. : )
Thanks Skinny for the hard work!
Great info. I was just discussing this with my wife. Thanks.

Would Xanax have the same lifespan as the Valium since both are Benzos?
@nicpierson Sweet! Well not really ... haha Thank you very much for the information!
What about quick clot and celox. Do they ever lose their effectiveness?

Great, I had a bunch of Cipro from medical work in South America, threw it away because it passed the date. I should have kept it.

Regarding Aspirin or Antibiotics ~ I was thinking about vacuum sealing them. What's your thoughts on this? Please reply. Mahalo / Thank You.
