Yes. They might be a little stale.

This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose effectiveness.

Under optimal storage conditions, in the original factory sealed container, the maximum shelf life for efficacy is 4 years.

Thus, these are most likely no longer effective and you should dispose of them.

The FDA lists this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
