How long before the average medication really is not usable? Is it true Pharmacy's just put old med's back on the shelf? Rumor's!
I found an old prescription (Dec 2013) of Amoxicillin. Today is 03/02/15. Is it still good?

Legally they can't dispense expired meds. I don'tthink I'd count on an antibiotic that old. You might want to look at your calender.
