In a nutshell... I have a horrible headache and no money. I found an old bottle of Orudis from 99. Will I get sick if I take them?

Taking expired pills can be very bad.

Try turning down the lights, eating a good hot meal, soaking in a hot bath and taking a nap for now.

Most pain pills have a shelf life of approximately 2 years.

Hi Katie... you must not take those, flush them down the toilet, just incase you are tempted.

Try knocking on the door of a friendly neighbour who i'm sure will have something to help with your headache, most people have a general first aid kit which will include basic painkillers.

I hope your head improves very soon, have a lie down in a darkened room which is very quiet, try some relaxation exerzises, they may help.

I sure hope her headache has improved since she posted this a month ago. LOL
