    Expired tablets?

    Did some searching here and just found people asking about expired liquids, not tablets.

    My cycle starts tomorrow and i've got a nice fresh bottle of Cabergoline I am going to use to keep prolactin sides down when using tren. Only problem is, the expiry date was: June 2009. A little over a year ago.

    I know it's safe to take. Just curious how the potency holds up on expired tablets rather than liquids. If needs be I will use two tablets per week rather than one (I dont want any left over by the end of my cycle anyways, i'm going to buy a new batch for whatever next cycle I use tren in).

    I used expired caber last cycle and it did everything it was supposed to. mine too was about a year old. a lot depends on where and how it was stored. i know moisture is a big no no for caber tablets.

    Roger that.

    I was always kept dry in the bottle in my closet. I figured it should be okay, I just wanted to get anyone's personal experience with expired tablets. All the better if you were in the same situation I am in!

    you could try it but i would toss it and get some fresh ar-r chems. They aren't that expensive and aren't you worth it? Just my .02 cents

    You're good to go. The potency of tabs is still good for at least a few years after the expiration date. Laws in many countries require manufacturers to stamp an expiration date on the packaging. The date doesn't mean that the potency decrease right away. It's just the date the manufacturer guarantees the potency up until. Most pharms are still fully potent for up to 10 years after the expiration date as long as they were stored in a cool, dry, dark place. There are some exceptions to this rule but I don't think caber is one of them. I'd say you're gtg bro.

    Ahh I see, thanks sprinter. Very valuable information there.

    I always wondered about that, and I always figured that expiry dates were never set-in-stone dates where the drugs suddenly lose potency... it doesn't make sense. So its more like a manufacturer's guarantee or warranty type of thing that you might get with a car (i.e. 5 year manufacturer warranty) or TV or something.

    For sure atomini. You hit the nail on the head. It's exactly like a manufacturer warranty on a product. The drug manufacturers could make the expiration date much longer in many cases but then people wouldn't spend more money on their aspirin and such when their bottle is expired.

    Very true but not for all mecications. Some expired meds can be harmful if taken past the expiration date.
