All medications have an expiry date to make sure they are safe and effective to use. Where you find that date — and how long a medication lasts — depends on the type of treatment you’re prescribed.
Below is a breakdown of the most common medications we prescribe and how their expiry dates work.
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
Once mixed: Expires 3 months after mixing
The expiry countdown starts from the day the solution is prepared, not the date on the box
Do not use HCG beyond 3 months after mixing, even if some remains
Testosterone Cypionate
The expiry date is printed directly on the vial and the box
When stored correctly, one vial can often last up to around 5 months, depending on your prescribed dose
Important safety information
Testosterone Cypionate is an unlicensed medication, however available research shows there are no concerns with drawing doses from the same vial over time, provided that:
The vial is cleaned before each use
A new, sterile needle is used every time
The medication is not used past the expiry date printed on the vial
As long as these steps are followed and the vial remains in date, it is safe to continue using it until finished.
Sustanon
Typical shelf life is up to 60 months
The exact expiry date will be printed on the vial and packaging
Always check the printed date before use
Erectile Dysfunction Medication
The expiry date is printed on the prescription label
Typical shelf life is 6 to 9 months
We advise not using erectile dysfunction medication past its stated expiry date
Repackaged or Deblistered Medication
Some medications are removed from original blister packaging and repackaged by our pharmacy team.
These medications will show an expiry date of 6 months on the dispensing label
In some cases, the original manufacturer’s expiry date may be longer
Always follow the expiry date shown on your dispensing label
