Those are very expired. Don’t take them. A few months over is ok, but beyond that is pushing it.

200 tabs of generic ibuprofen is like $5🫶 do you have a credit card or a friend who can spare $5?

Update: I took 3 of the expired ones. It didn’t hurt me, but they only provided minimal relief, less than one of the nonexpired pills. I’m just going to toss these. Also I’m too proud to accept outside help, but thank you for the offers.
