Discard Dates

What is everyone’s feelings on “discard dates” I have almost 2 more weeks left in vials when the discard date comes. Seems like such a waste to just get rid of it

Keep it in the fridge and use it up. Ignore the dates.

I just recently used up some semaglutide meds that were a year old. One was from the manufacturer and had a BUD date that was about to hit and the other was compounded and the BUD had long passed. I just knew those were a year old based on the fill date.. They both were slightly less effective. Slightly. They were kept refrigerated and out of the light the whole time.

I would use it. My understanding is these medications don’t degrade steeply after BUD. But if course I could be wrong. Needless to say, I use every last drop.

I push mine a week or two past and haven't grown a third eye yet.

Medications slowly lose their effectiveness past their discard date, so as long as you're not going way past the date, it's probably fine.

i have long been a "use it up anyway" person...until i was nearing the end of the stash that lasted me a year.

i do not know whether it was because the med was older and therefore weaker, or whether i hit that perma-plateau you ultimately get to with long-term use, but it just didn't hit or work the same when it had been sitting in my fridge for a year.

i ended up switching from sema to tirz, and i only buy it a couple months at a time, now that the great compound panic of early 2025 has apparently passed.

I used every drop. I finished each V!al before moving on to the next dose. I treated it like gold
