can you use expired Steriods?

**canonthree** · 09-11-2011, 11:25 PM

New to the site. I had bought Sestenon 250 redi -ject about 10 years ago and timing just never worked out then i forgot that I had them well I have been working out quite abit and I was looking though a box and came across them. So I was wondering if it would be any harm to use? Thanks

Expired gear is one thing. But ten years! Dam! I wouldn't use that at all...

How has it been stored? If it's been in a dark, dry, cool area it may be under-dosed by now but I dont think it would have gone bad if the seal has never been broken. Does it still look clear?

10 years is a tough call but if it was me????

Yeah! I know, uncalled for....

So long as there is nothing visually wrong with it, it should be GTG. It may have lost some potency, but who cares?

i agree.

DON'T even think about using it! You have no idea how potent the stuff is after 10 years, the cycle would be a mess.

THROW IT OUT!!!

Plenty of guys have used gear that old with good results. Why would something possibly slightly weaker than normal make a cycle a mess?
Besides, the esters in Sust are resistant to degradation, so its probably fine.

WTF?? Its not wine... Ive never heard of drugs gaining quality or potentcy while aging??

Odds are its weaker. If its still clean, I would hate to waste it.... worse case it will be a weak cycle.
I'm thinking... if you don't feel it in the second week up the dose??

Folks, some horrible advice in this thread, actually we should not be having this discussion at all!

Any pharmaceutical has a clearly calculated time frame, after which it starts to lose on it's manufactured specification. I.e. you will not get the results you're after.

Don't get me wrong, if you want to be a guinea pig and use your oil based Testosterone a few months after expiration date - go ahead, and there is a good chance the potency won't be off too much.

But advising someone on using stuff of unknown origin, unknown storage conditions, 10 yrs post it's expiration date, that is simply irresponsible and a VERY BAD practice.

So is wasting perfectly good gear. If the gear still looks alright and there hasn't been any exposure to the outside elements, it should be good to go. The potency might be a bit weaker.

Hey OP, if you're in a lot of doubt, you could just give it to somebody else.. Free of charge of course.

They have expiration dates due to legal reasons, as long a's it was stored correctly there should be no issue.
If anything it's not a's potent but that would be primarily due to improper storage.

**Swifto** · 09-12-2011, 02:47 PM

10 years is on the long side, but I'd still give it a whirl, personally.

Yes its a legal issue surrounding quality... and quality based on potentcy. If its not a protein or bacterial based substance (IE: something that would decay... experience actual chemical change) it will only weaken.

The advice to the contrary is very good advice.... if they meds you are taking are used to treat something important like your heart, etc.
You dont want to take old stuff because it may not work, and cause your condition to possibly kill you.

But for this sport those factors are not relevent. Also the substance in question, would show visible signs if it were harmful.

Although it may still be weaker.

Normaly i would say go for but 10 years is pusshing it.
Years back I had some gear tested that was 5 years past expire
and it was 100% lebel strength still. Those SUST pre loads
were golden. Loved them.

these dates are also good ploys for companies to maximise sales and make people buy more rather than holding onto products. although in saying that 10yrs is a right old jog

worst that could happen is he might build out of date muscle
