How long the Steroid is still effective after expiration date in unopened Vial
ad
Morning all ;
I hope all my bros and sisters are in good health.
I was wondering for how GEAR will be effective in vial after the expiration if you haven’t opened the vial at all .. Does it lose its potency after expiration date?.. Please advice as I always hear different opinion .
Regards

It'll last years if properly stored. The degradation of the active ingredient will be minimal. Test Cyp and Test E have a 5 year shelf life. Sust and Test prop is 3 years. This is guidelines from legitimate pharmaceutical companies. Once a vial has been opened the guidelines state the contents should be used within 28 days. Again will it hurt you if it is expired? No it will most likely not.
Thank you all for great info and feedback . Almost a year pass the exp date but I haven’t opened the vial yet .
Do you guys think is dangerous to use or the gear might be lost only its potency and would be not effective ?
Many thanks in advance
Hey bro I have wondered this and actually found out. One order I made actually came with vials that were a year past date. I used them and honestly it was some of the best prop I ever used. They were the one mil vials. So I would say if they wernt screwed with then there should be no problems. Peace
AnonIf it was stored properly, I saw no flaws, and I was pleased with the brand from before, then I would run it.
You have to make a decision for yourself. Here are some things to consider: Solvents in the oil can sometimes deteriorate stoppers, that's why I store them upright at room temp. Crimps should be reasonably tight (I can turn just about any crimp by hand with enough force, that doesn't mean it's a bad crimp). If the crimp is too lose then it's hard to trust. If the vial leaks, throw it away. When you pull the cap off if the stopper looks cracked and dry rotted or has mold growing on it, throw it away. If you see debris in the vial that isn't from crashing, throw it away. If you don't feel safe pinning it for any reason, throw it away.
Hope that helps you make a decision.
Used expired gears before, no issues.
Its the same as any pharma grade medication - it will still work past expiry but over the years will become less and less effective. I read a study recently where they measured the effectiveness of Beta Blockers that were 10 years past EXP and they had only lost 10% potency. Personally I think it comes down to peace of mind and whether you are happy pinning gear that is a few years old that isn't 100% bang on reliable. I would go up to a year past but wouldn't fancy any further than that.
AnonStorage is really important. When I get vials I wipe them down completely with single use alcohol wipes. Then I set them upright in a small sealed container at room temp. I don't like storing any vial that's been uncapped and drawn from for long, no matter the EXP Date.
It will be effective until it's not. I have vintage vials dating back to 2015.
GrowthForGrowthI use alot of expired gear orals and oils and never had a problem yet, and everything worked as it supposed to be.
RustyhookerHow old? Gear last a long time.
A year old my good bro
Oils I wouldn’t use. Tablets I would. There’s been studies that show medicine is still good even after 15 years. I myself have purchased 4 year old Azolol from a source that I’m going to send out for testing just for the hell of it. Last year the FDA announced its extending the expiration date on Tamiflu due to the stockpile they have.
Steroids will lose potency past expiration. But I think the oil can go bad as well and that would be a bigger concern.
That was my concern my good bro , is it dangerous to use or is only wouldn’t be effective !,,,
AnonYes. How long and why, is above my pay grade.
A year old but Haven’t opened the vials ..
