How long is thyroid medicine shelf stable?
I keep hearing that has a very short shelf life and shouldn’t be good after more than a year out.
Is there some way of storing it that can extend it?
I’m on some at a very low dose, just borderline underactive, and for some reason, I am ending up with more than I need. I only forget to take it on occasion, but if what you say is true, then missing one day a week as a part of a planned stock up could work, although I realize YOU cannot technically recommend that.
So I’m not asking you to suggest that, but am more curious about shelf stabilbity.
FDA mandates ONE year label expiration date.
In Reality Some drugs can maintain potency for DECADES.
I typed “how long can drugs remain potent in storage” and this popped up from our very own bought and paid for NIH:
