When studying the effect (efficacy) of a medication, researchers will give some subjects doses of the medication under study and others an inactive or inert doses to see the relative effect of the medication.
This known as a 'blind study' because the participants do not know know whether they received the medication or the inert dose.
A 'double blind study' is when a third party designs the experiment and prepares the doses so that neither the subject or the scientist doing the testing knows which is getting the live dose.

Is it safe to take medicine from a bottle of hydro PC ii that was prescribed in 2002?
You should not be using expired medication, especially since it is over 10 years old. By this time, the drug has broken down significantly into inert chemical mixtures and since the content is unknown, it can be potentially harmful for you. I would advice you to discard the medication.
