Maybe I missed it; maybe you’re thinking of another article?

I didn’t see the antibiotic list.

The only one mentioned by name and its uses was:
“Albert Poirier, quality-assurance director for Bayer’s pharmaceutical division, says he isn’t surprised because Cipro “is a stable drug molecule” in tablet form. “We go for a shelf life that will be safest for patients,” he says. “We want the drug to be used up within three years. We wouldn’t want a patient to have it for 10 years because they’d have an old package insert” that might omit new information or contra-indications and because “we’d have no control over how they’d store the drug during this time.”

So, I should throw out a perfectly good drug b/c the insert may not be current? Silliness.
