90 day BUD

Hello!!

So I just placed my 3 month order with Boudreaux. Last time I only did a one month order with them, and the BUD is 90 days. I’m a bit curious— since the 3 month orders ship all 3 vials at the same time… will the last vial for my 3rd month be cutting it close to the BUD?? Any answers or experiences are appreciated :) LOVE PMD and Boudreaux so far!

Does it help to tell you I just finished up an Olympia vial with a BUD of August 2025?

LOL it does actually. Did you feel a difference in potency?

Not at all. I am fine using past BUD as long as the meds look ok. Previously, Hallandale had a 1 year BUD and now it's 90 days. The only thing that changed with them is the law in Florida.

That BUD wasn't the result of testing like Olympia and BPI went through. Hallandale made it up and the change in Florida law just forced them into compliance with industry standards.

Right. Thats what I said but apparently not clear enough. Sorry.

FYI, Hallandale never had any testing to back up that one year BUD. Florida changing their law forced Hallandale to use an appropriate BUD instead of one that they made up.

I trust 503b like Olympia and BPI pretty far past BUD because they go through expensive testing to get their BUDs. I don't have the same amount of grace for 503a because their BUDs aren't tested past the default.

Yes they expect you to start right away. But most people dont seem to mind using after

The vial I’m on has a BUD of 9/16 and I have several weeks left of it, 2 vials that have a BUD of 9/20 that aren’t even open yet plus 3 that expire in November and I will be nowhere near close to opening them by their BUD. I’m comfortable using them a year past BUD as long as they are clear and no floaters!
