I think most drugs just lose their potency over time, but there are a few that actually "go bad." I believe the antibiotic Doxycycline is one of those that you should definitely throw away if it's past the expiration date. You should discard all old antibiotics. Actually, I guess we really shouldn't have old antibiotics around the house because we're supposed to finish the course when they're prescribed whether we feel better or not.
