The FDA has been testing lots of doxycycline in the national stockpile (doxycycline is stockpiled for a bioterrorism countermeasure in "their" / not available to us? national stockpile )
for example a lot with a March 31, 2015 expiration was extended twice, for use till July 31, 2022. extended again? I seem to remember reading of their considerations against that but those do not show up in my quick search for reference.
somewhat weakened antibiotics is one thing. Killing your kidney function with toxic / gone bad antibiotics is another, (there is remdesivir for that).
Good tip on storage, thank you.
