Expiration dates on tabs
ad
I have 100 Turan 10mg tabs; and 30 Clomiphene 50mg tabs. \
Clomiphene expired last July and the Turan expired last September. I don't think this should make too much of a difference. But I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. I mean, I have taken plenty of over the counter and prescription medications that have expired and they still worked. So I assume AAS and PCT shouldn't be any different.
Thanks!

The general rule, is that unless something is made of protein (for instance HGH, and hCG, some medications), expiration dates are pretty much BS (this is why you have to reconstitute hCG, it lasts longer in the dried form vs. in solution). There is going to be some breakdown of the chemical, that's just natural, but I'd be along the range of your 10mg Tbols now being 9.8mg Tbols.
Now, this is a general rule, keep that in mind. For this stuff you're going to be okay, but don't think that this is some umbrella advice for all medications--if you have some leftover antibiotics from a previous infection, don't just take it if it's expired, ask your doctor. For instance, the antibiotic tetracycline can become very hepatotoxic when its expired.
This should help:

RustyhookerIf tabs are still firm, solid, not mottled in color they're probably ok. Keep em airtight and cool dark place. Any tabs look dusty/flaky or pock marked has experienced oxidation and losing potency. If clomid isn't pharma,, might have back up plan as well.
