Question
Should I worry about the expiry date on my meds?
18 June 2023. Related: Adherence, All topics.
I started taking PEP on 28th last month in May 2023. I will complete my days on 24th this month of June but my PEP medicine expiry date, is June/2023 it is this month. Is it still going to have it’s real effectiveness in it’s last month of expiry. It is not yet expired but it’s in last month of expiration.
Answer
Hi there
Please do not worry about this.
Solid tablets are very stable.
So long as you store them carefully with no extreme temperatures, they will remain fully active for years after the expiry date.
Your PEP is in date and would be fine for at least several months of maybe longer so long as you have stored them properly.
Hey
I started taking pep last month may on the 20 and I will stop on the 18 of June
The expiry date shows July 2025 is still safe to use
Thank you for the feedback Kauda
