Narcotic Analgesics For Surgery and Obstetrics (Systemic)
Brand name(s): Alfenta
Description
Narcotic analgesics (nar-KOT-ik an-al-JEE-zicks ) are given to relieve pain before and during surgery (including dental surgery) or during labor and delivery.

At this site it says the shelf life is 3 years. Hope that helps.

Muscle Cramps
I also have been taking triamterene for water retention from open heart surgery but I only use the potasium pill when the cramps in the legs etc. present themselves. I also found that I have been perscribed 2 per day and it seems to work the same if I only take one.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
