HCG Shelf Life / Expiration

Hi All!

Small question about HCG. I’ve just noticed an unopened box of HCG while cleaning my refrigerator today (yeah, it was well hidden! hehe). It is a two vial set with powder in one and bacteriostatic water in the other.

Since the solution was not mixed and still in a sealed box, I was wondering if I could use it even if it is 8 month past the expiration date. I know that most medications shelf life is way longer than what is written on the label, but for an injectable I’m not really sure…

Thanks!

If it hasn’t been reconstituted yet I would say the only thing that might be lost is potency. Doubt it would hurt you, but I’m no M.D.

I would use it and not think anything of it.

It should be fine - it certainly won’t hurt you. The way my scrip is written, I end up with excess vials. They often go out of date before I can use them all up. No issues.

Thanks for the info! I’ll use it as usual and see how it goes :slight_smile:
