Should I use 7 year old Propoxy-n apap (painkiller)?

So I have a nasty bit of back pain and have this old pill from when my gf got her wisdom teeth taken out 7 years ago. What happens when medicine ages? Does it lose its potency, become dangerous?

It won't hurt you. But, it probably won't be effective now either.

Might lose a small percent of potency - I'd use it. Now, with some antibiotics, and heart meds, different story.

I don't thing darvocet really does that good of a job with pain though. Incisional pain - I write for vicodin or percocet. Cramping pain - ibuprofen or celebrex (Vioxx was WONDERFUL.... while you could get it)

Darvocet... meh. But... you might get a nice placebo effect.
