My question involves criminal law for the state of: Indiana
I am on house arrest. During this time I had surgery and was prescribed hydrocodone. The prescription says drug expires Aug. 2017. No refills. I had taken 3 total 3 days in a row. I had a Doctors appt. coming up but I was in pain. I had a urine drug screen showing positive for hydrocodone. They want to revoke my house arrest because they said it was illegal for me take an expired prescription. Do I understand correctly, the expiration date is provided by the drug manufacturer and pharmacy ? The date is their guarantee the drug is still at its full potential. The expiration date also relieves them of liability if taken after the expiration date. Thank You.
