I have been sick with a cold/flu for three weeks. Two days ago, I developed diarrhea. It seemed to occur immediately after eating. Today, the diarrhea was bright yellow and I passed something the size of a small grape (also yellow in color). I'm currently on synthroid (for hypothyroidism), effexor (for depression), and metformin & byetta (for insulin resistence). I've been on the Byetta for nearly a month, but have not suffered any side effects to date.
Most everything lasts a while past expiration before deterioration, including food. Expiration dates have a margin of safety built in. That being said, the above is true, but vitamins usually have way more that anyone needs in them so a little deterioration in potency isn't that big a deal depending on why you're taking them. After all, much of them just goes down the toilet anyway, so again, a margin of safety is built in there, too.
I used Byetta for a long time and I am not an expert or medical person. You are best to get the information from your doctor. Before I started using Byetta, I had to take classes from a nurse on how I had to inject Byetta into my stomach. It was prescribed by my Doctor. Byetta has side effects reported by some people but I had no problems with it other than the expense. It does give you a feeling of fullness and it has a nickname (Spit).
You may want to check and see if there is an expiration date. Even if the expiration date is past, there are still okay to use as the expiration date is for the packaging.
Good luck.
These were precribed to me but I noticed the bottle expiration date is 10/2008. I have almost full bottles so I haven't thrown them out. Can I consider these safe? My husband says yes.
I would really like some help with this. Byetta has been wonderful so far, and I've lost 30 lbs, yay! But now I've developed insomnia - terrible, only 3 hours of sleep a night insomnia, which has never bothered me before. If I skip my second Byetta shot for the day, I can usually get a full night's sleep. So that's certainly a clue that I may not be able to take the full two doses of Byetta a day.
For liquid medicine you should never, ever risk taking it after the expiration date. Not only will it be less effective, but it can also begin to grow bacteria which can infect the lining of your digestive tract. This can be very dangerous.
I know it seems that medicines have expiration dates just to make you spend more money, but that is actually not the case. If you think you will not use your prescription for a year, it is best not to fill it until you need it.
So I just noticed that my last two packs of pills have the expiration date of 7/2009. Im supposed to start one of the packs this sunday, and that means I will be taking 4 days of expired pills (the first four days of July). Will this be risky? I called planned parenthood and they said I would be fine...and that I can't come in and get new packs since I have two...I'm a little scared these pills won't work since its so close to the expiration date!!
5 milligrams 3/4 am and 1 at nighttime.my expiration date on my bottle says disgard after date which is 1 year. now my pharmacist said benzoes are only good for 6 months.im a little confused at this point.
I see that this is under juvenile diabetes, which I know even less about. But, Byetta is remarkable for a lot of folks, and there are two newer, similar, products available also.
Hello,
Since the cream has reached beyond its expiry date, I would suggest you not to use it because it may cause irritant contact dermatitis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I actually started on Victoza about 3 months ago. I had to change to Byetta in about 2 weeks (finished Victoza sample and insurance would only pay for Byetta). I developed nausea at the smaller dose of Victoza, and never used the larger dose. The nausea was unchanged with the change of meds.....and I have lost a LOT of weight (29 pounds). But the nausea started within a day or two of starting it. At least for me.
From what I have read the only issue with exceeding the expiration date is maybe less potency. In your situation, I wouldn't worry about the date.
Can you get a prescription for Armour? If so, I have a potential source for you, in Canada.
I hade vaginal intercourse, she brought the condom. I didn't check the expiration date on the Trojan. It remained intact.
Any concern?
I agree with aaron n sophia, the warning label not being there isn't so much of a concern (unless you can't see the expiration date on it), I'd be more concerned of an accident previously. They can look perfect and still have been in an accident, that and the crib are what my doctor told me to make sure I didn't buy 2nd hand, they're most important!
Car seats actually have an expiration date on them, I'm not sure how long they are good for though. The hospital will check the seat and will not let you take your baby home in it if it's expired. Some hospitals give we car seats if you ask for one.
