Best Answer

Most medicines in pressed-pill form are effective up to 10 years, reported by the Wall Street Journal some years ago. One aspirin manufacturing company tested their product 4 years after said expiration date and found it to be 100% effective. Pills can loose potency over time but are usually safe to take if stored properly. However, if your life depends on potent meds, stay current.

How long is a prescription for Xanax valid?

A prescription for Acyclovir or any prescription drug for that matter, is good until the expiration date on the manufacture bottle that the pills originally came from. The expiration dates are usually 3-5 years from date that the pills were made. So from the time that you pick your pills up from the pharmacy you have approximately 2-3 years on average. And even after the pills expire, they aren't going to cause you any harm or anything. It's just that the pills lose their effectiveness.
