Title: Expired Gel?
Post by: November Fox on February 27, 2017, 09:17:16 AM
Hi guys.

I have a batch of androgel that expired last year. It´s still safe to use from what I gathered online, but could be a bit less potent. Does anybody have experience using gel that´s over the expiration date?

PS. I am fully aware that using expired gel is my own risk.

I've done it with no issues. My levels stayed stable as well.

Thanks Max,

I looked around a bit more online and most forums seem to confirm your experience.
I will just use it and have my levels checked again in about 3 months.

You'll probably be fine :)

I get a refill every time I see my doctor, which was quarterly for the first two years I was on T so most of the T I use is actually nearing expiration or already expired. Haven't noticed a difference personally. I think if it was more than a year old, I'd be a little more hesitant about using it.
