I have sudden awful dental pain and have prescription cocodamol 500/ 30 that went out of date in Jan 2021.

Is it safe and will it work? I'm desperate.

Poor you! That pain is awful! Yes, the expired tablets will work. I had some co-dydramol that expired in 2016 laying around and took them recently following a surgery and they worked a treat.

I don’t know and I am not qualified to advise…but were I in your shoes I would take it.

Probably safe, just not as effective as in date stuff.

Perfectly safe
