I ordered 10 x 10 packets of Rotexmedica B12 ampoules ( 100) and on receipt noticed that the use -by date was just one year ahead . So I complained about such a large quantity having such a short use-by date for a private person.OK for a clinic or doctors ( who they also do business with ) They replied that they guarantee their products are always guaranteed for 6 months ,so 12 months was acceptable .

I’ve always received 100 ampoules from other German online pharmacies with a use-by date of 24months and over . . So if you want to order from the above pharmacy and want ampoules to use for over 6 months , take care . They only guarantee that they will be usable for 6months

Yes , I know that lots of PAS members buy in large quantities to save on the courier costs . And for that they really need a long expiry date . 👍

As soon as you get them store in fridge, you will be fine for quite a bit longer, I do that always. Take one out at a time warm it up on my body somewhere (🤗) before injecting. I buy Hevert, they sometimes come in large quantities.

It only has the expiry date that is printed on the box That pharmacy ( pharma24) sold me 100 ampoules which expired in I year , and I always get on expiry date of 2 years or slightly more from other German online pharmacies .

.When i complained to them , they said they only guarantee to supply medicines with an expiry date of 6 months , so i had nothing to complain about, as those ampoules had an expiry date of 1 year . Lots of patients buy large quantities like 100

, to save money —-discount and courier charges . They work out how many they can use in 2 years . If the use by date is 1yeat , they will not be able to use them all. . That’s why i put out the warning and posted theur reply to my complaint ,

“Not harming “ me if ampoules are past the use-by date , is not good enough , when i need treatment !
