Out of date Thyroxine

[fixit]

I have Thyroxine tablets that I bought myself online, as I self medicate, that are now out of date. The expiry date is Oct 2021. Will they still work just as well?

You've still got 2 months to go - or was that the wrong date?

Oh dear, my mistake! That is the correct date - excuse my brain fog.

I am a year out!

Will they still be OK a few months out of date?

It's currently August 2021 so an expiry date of October 2021 is not out of date

I am using T3 with an expiry date of October 2019 and they have not lost any potency.

As long as you have stored them correctly, cool dark place is ideal, they should be fine for easily a couple of years.

Thank you SeasideSusie. Good to know they are still good, even when they do eventually go out of date. Excuse the brain fog!

It was a good question (even if you got the date wrong!). Our experience is in line with what SeasideSusie said.
