Look around, study posted on here about 2 yrs ago went through a US gov't study and another done by a major university regarding shelf life of drugs-Most were found to be good 10 years beyond their expiry dates with little or no loss of potency. Even had one sulpha drug from WWII days sat in a moist humid climate for 20+yrs and was still good to use. So hit it or send it to me.

According to a gsk rep exp dates on drugs in bs. Its a way to increase profits.

This is an interesting article from Harvard Medical school.

Drug Expiration Dates - Do They Mean Anything?
With a splitting headache you reach into your medicine cabinet for some aspirin only to find the stamped expiration date on the bottle has passed - two years ago. So, do you take it or don't you? If you decide to take the aspirin will it be a fatal mistake or will you simply continue to suffer from the headache?

This is a dilemma many people face in some way or another. A column published in Pyschopharmacology Today offers some advice.

It turns out that the expiration date on a drug does stand for something, but probably not what you think it does. Since a law was passed in 1979, drug manufacturers are required to stamp an expiration date on their products. This is the date at which the manufacturer can still guarantee the full potency and safety of the drug.

Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date.

So the expiration date doesn't really indicate a point at which the medication is no longer effective or has become unsafe to use. Medical authorities state expired drugs are safe to take, even those that expired years ago. A rare exception to this may be tetracycline, but the report on this is controversial among researchers. It's true the effectiveness of a drug may decrease over time, but much of the original potency still remains even a decade after the expiration date. Excluding nitroglycerin, insulin , and liquid antibiotics, most medications are as long-lasting as the ones tested by the military. Placing a medication in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, will help a drug remain potent for many years.

Is the expiration date a marketing ploy by drug manufacturers, to keep you restocking your medicine cabinet and their pockets regularly? You can look at it that way. Or you can also look at it this way: The expiration dates are very conservative to ensure you get everything you paid for. And, really, if a drug manufacturer had to do expiration-date testing for longer periods it would slow their ability to bring you new and improved formulations.


I'll see if I can find the military study on this~

I would say good to go, I know for a fact that exp dates are just so companies can make more money. Up to you but if it were me I would definitly use it.

[Liftnainez]

all up 2 u.. i wouldnt, but thats me.. I rather know im putting good, clean, potent stuff in my body than have to be guessing for the next 3-4 months.. why take the chance even..

[*Alex*]

its clean , potency is questinable but i would go for it. cycle it for 4 weeks see what happens!

[*Alex*]

[axiomatic6]

[KrazeeEddie]

Should be totally fine! I used some old steris labs cypionate and it was over 5 years old and it was one of the best cycles I have ever done!!!

[k0nsl]

Maybe its like wine; it gets better every year

[Liftnainez]

why even risk anything.. why even to double think.. just buy new ones.. if people are going to be stingy on gear- dont use it.. with gear comes many responsibilities.. you need to buy alot of supps, food, protectants.. i dont get why you would use old shit

[seventhlttd]

Maybe its like wine; it gets better every year

[TestSubject123]

[BigMaus]

2 years?
No way, dont use it...like Bigmax said, its lost his potency.

[Stackertoo]

My old man was a pharmacist for many years, and he used to laugh at the expiration dates on drugs. We had shit around our house that was five years past. It may lose potency, but I truly believe that is neligible.
Remember, our beloved FDA is always on the side of overkill. Thus, we are always the last to get some potentially helpful drugs to market. And to answer the questions that poses--they really have no idea of the true effects until the drug has been studied for 20-30 years.
He always said "It's not like milk."

Oh you you know this how? such bullshit. I love how people make statements and know absolutely nothing about the subject.

and you may ask how I know. I used to work for glaxo and my friend is a scientist for them. But hey I'm sure you have you know more.

[longtom74]

Well I heard its a liability issue, really. Refrigeration should help though right? dark really cold place?
