Most antibiotics will keep for 3 to 5 years if they're refrigerated.

I've been told by several doctors that most medicine is good for at least 3 years past its expiration date.

Not sure I'd want to take that chance with something like a rescue inhaler or Epi-Pen for severe allergic reactions, mind you, but otherwise, I think that you're good to go, especially for stuff like OTC medicines.

I keep Clavamox, Cipro, and doxycycline. Do you suggest others? Most will keep way past their expiration date.
