STILL reeling from a corruption scandal, the Armed Forces may have just been plunged into another controversy.

AFP information officer Lt. Col. Buenaventura Pascual yesterday said that some medicines at the Fort Bonifacio General Hospital were still efficacious and could still be used on patients even if they had expired six months ago.

He issued the statement in the wake of allegations that drugs that had lapsed their expiry periods were being prescribed for soldiers wounded in action.

Quoting the pharmaceutical company that he said had donated the drugs, Pascual said some of the medicines in the military stockpile could still be administered even if they had expired in January.

They had not yet expired when the Fort Bonifacio hospital received them as a donation, he said.
