  1. H.C. I remember a study the U.S. Navy did in the early 2005. Antibiotics from 1965 was still 95% effective 40 years after their manufacture.
    As for which antibiotics. I don't know. Long live Emperor Wolfie. Cheers, Mate.

  2. Interesting. I wonder why drugs degenerate more quickly in space. I do have a couple of issues. My understanding g is that modern doxycycline is stable and does not have the decomposition problems of old tetracycline. It would not be poisonous. Asprin that smells of vinegar is breaking down into acetic acid and salicylic acid. The salicylic acid is generally a low dose and would not hurt adults. I would agree it is not doing anything good for you, but the dosage would be less than poisonous (I am still alive, but don't general use asprin now).

  3. Per the usual, an excellent video chronicling; your/other’s knowledge, work ethic, and time invested to help us become more properly informed 👍🏼 Excellent too as it as another spoke in the wheel that highlights how the MUSKY one is an untrustworthy, King of bread and circuses, full of; devious intent, narcissism, greed, and lust for power.

  4. Interesting video Huples! Did I hear you correctly that liquid antibiotics are more shelf-stable than tablet (or powder) form antibiotics? I thought it was the other way 'round – or is it just non-antibiotic medications that are more shelf-stable in their dry form?

  5. "Typically, drug manufacturers test their products’ stability at two to three years out. The drug might be stable beyond that time, but it isn’t tested for a number of reasons because:

    This is viewed as an acceptable time frame.
    It eliminates the manufacturers’ need to perform long-term stability tests.
    It requires pharmacies and consumers to replace expired products.

    Stability studies have shown that the actual shelf life of medications might extend longer than the expiration dates indicate. But after a drug leaves the manufacturer, there’s no guaranteed consistency of proper storage, which can affect its safety and potency."

  6. The Mars travel aspect is very interesting.
    Always sticks in my mind about the Aspirin (after one of your previous videos).
    I try to keep things as current as possible out to a max of 2 years after expiry in order to have as much of a time frame of longevity as possible.
