We find it difficult to use the Costco OTC drugs like Advil among two people before the expiration date.

Expiration dates on some OTC drugs like Advil aren't as important as you might think. [See this.](https://www.healthdigest.com/756305/does-ibuprofen-expire/)

Yeah, I've taken drugs years after their expiration date. It's just not super confidence-inspiring.

Many medicines simply degrade, so yeah, you won’t poison yourself, but then it’s just a placebo.

It depends on the medication. There are some that can last for 20+ years with the same effectiveness.
