    I searched in the "search" file, and found several referenced sources. Thank you for the opportunity anyway.

    Good rule of thumb is one year for most things, 6 months for antibiotics in pill or capsule form, two weeks for compounded liquid antibiotics, and two years for pain meds. (Past date, that is.)
