Medication tablets, sealed in blister packs. Do they really go out of date? I've been through my cupboard looking for ibuprofen, and come across a load of other postnatal prescription painkillers that are two years past their use by date.

My wife reckons they should be chucked out, I'm all for eating them

If you do get rid of any medicine then take it to a pharmacy and they'll dispose of it properly (for free). (Disreputable pharmacists may be an exception.)

Don't just chuck it in the bin as it will almost certainly end up in the water system.

And that's not even the worst case scenario
