> I just tossed alot of meds. I thought maybe they could become toxic?
Some antibiotics like tetracycline can become toxic. Some nasal and eye medications can harbor bacteria. These meds should be discarded. Others may just lose their effectiveness but not become toxic--just less potent.
Your pharmacist will know for sure if a med can become toxic.
Keeping lots of meds around the house can be dangerous with children around.
But for me and my husband a little expired sleep aid on hand has been helpful--not toxic.
