QUESTION ABOUT RX???

i have a question if anyone might know the answer:

i found a bottle of vicodan from 03/05. its past the expiration date on the bottle. is it still good? i know it wont "go bad", but does it lose its strength? why do they put an exp. date on meds?

thanks in advance...

it supposedly loses strength call the pharmacy??  where was it..  I am told meds left in the bathroom that are subjected to steam and heat lose strength faster..
