Ibrutinib shelf life

I’ve recently started taking Ibrutinib. I have tried to find out the shelf life. My pill bottle is labeled manufactured 09/16,

I'm amazed that there is no use by date on your Ibrutinib. How long have you had that pill bottle?

There is a one-year from refill "discard" date on both the pill pack and the box of bottles. The bottles have the expiration date on the label as well as the box. The pack has it on the outer container, but not on the sleeves with punch-out pills. Even so, the expiration date is typically months after the discard date, currently 2019 or 2020. There is also a presumption that each refill is a 30-day supply.

The prescription was filled last week

Given starsafta 's reply, you need to get back to your pharmacy or whoever filled your prescription and get your supply replaced. Seems that they have poor stock management control. Good thing that you noticed!

My Ibrutinib capsule bottles show an expire date. It is usually one year from the time they fill the prescription. John

Hi just looked at mine and expiry date 10/2020. No manufacturing date, but in the U.K. and still on the 3 tablets and pharmacy will fill from larger jar.
