Expired HCG, still good?

**snowfox** · 06-02-2006, 07:40 PM

Would it hurt to shoot expired HCG (about 6 months)? I reckon it wouldn't hurt me as it's still in ampules, it would only be less effective and the rest is just inert material.

Am I correct?

I dont know for a fact. But generally things have an expirey date for a reason. Me personally...wouldnt use it.

Its more than likely fine...I have used expired HCG before....its not reconstituted yet right?

If it hasn't been reconstituted and has been stored in reasonable environment, it should still be good and will be good for quite a while.

Drug manufacturers are required to put an expiration date on all drugs. This date is often arbitrary and reflects the fact that they've only tested the drugs up to this amount of time. It's very likely that it will be good for much longer. The army did studies of common drugs in the 80's and found that 90% of ther most common drugs were still effective up to 15 years past their expiration date. Obviously this would not apply to liquid or oil based drugs, reconstituted proteins, or unstable compounds like nitroglycerin.
