Meds in a first-aid kit in the trunk of my car (epi-pens, Narcan) I try to replace more-or-less as they expire, i.e. within a year or two of the expiration date. It gets hot in there.
IIRC, the study said pills and tablets stayed effective long after the expiration dates. Solutions dropped in effectiveness quicker. Nothing on ointments, but I've found antibiotic ointments, etc., effective years after the expiration date. Some weren't and I had to get new.
But there was a rumor going around Asia about one antibiotic, that if it was old it would blow your kidneys out. They did a study on that and concluded it was likely a myth.
