Methocarbam Expiration

1 Topic Found

how long does a perscription of methocarbam stay good? ## Once a medication in tablet form has been removed from the original factory sealed container and placed into a dispensing container by your pharmacist, they have a one year expiration date. Once that seal is broken, they are exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light and moisture, so they gradually lose potency. Thus, when the year is up, they are not going to be as effective as they were when new and they should be properly disposed of, or taken to your pharmacy for disposal. There are a couple that do become dangerous, once expired, but they come with prominent warnings in the drug monographs or labeling. Are there any questions or comments?
