This is something I found...

A former director of the testing program, Francis Flaherty, said he concluded that expiration dates put on by manufacturers typically have no bearing on whether a drug is usable for longer. Mr. Flaherty noted that a drug maker is required to prove only that a drug is still good on whatever expiration date the company chooses to set. The expiration date doesn't mean, or even suggest, that the drug will stop being effective after that, nor that it will become harmful. "Manufacturers put expiration dates on for marketing, rather than scientific, reasons," said Mr. Flaherty, a pharmacist at the FDA until his retirement in 1999. "It's not profitable for them to have products on a shelf for 10 years. They want turnover."

edition.cnn.com/2012/10/08/... can't do any harm to take them as envisaged and see if you feel any better, I would say. Have been told Greek T3 in short supply at the moment so may be worthwhile if that's what you were considering buying :)

I am using some old NHS T3. Got to be over 6 yrs old. Still fine.

Same here (not 6yrs but a year out of date maybe). The bu**ers sent it to me on the verge of expiry and I would have been hard-pressed to use it up in time even if I had been using more than I do.

I asked them not to do that again and they said they have no idea how old the distributors' products are before they arrive and no way to ensure they won't expire before you finish them. And this is the infamous Β£300(Ish) t3 on the new meds review. Gives you confidence eh?

Scottishkitty,

I was using Tiromel 12 months past expiry for a few weeks and noticed no difference. I wouldn't bin the 2015 T3.
