Expired elavil?

Expired Elavil (amitriptyline) — you should not take it.

What expiration means
- The date is about potency and safety. After the expiry, the medicine may be less effective and could potentially have unpredictable effects.

What to do with expired Elavil
- Do not take it.
- Don’t flush medications down the toilet unless the label or local guidelines specifically say it’s okay.
- Safe disposal options:
- Use a local drug take-back program or pharmacy disposal service if available.
- If no program is available: mix the pills with an undesirable substance (coffee grounds, kitty litter, or dirt), put the mixture in a sealed plastic bag or container, and throw it in the trash. Remove or black out your name and prescription number from the container.
- Store it out of reach of children and pets until you can dispose of it.
- If you’re unsure or need a replacement, talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about obtaining a fresh supply.
