Is your medication expired?
When should you discard prescription and OTC drugs?

Rx, OTC drug expiration dates typically range from 12 to 60 months after production.


The expiration dates on over-the-counter and prescription medications seem pretty black and white, but there’s some question about whether drugs last even longer.

Expiration dates typically range from 12 to 60 months after production. But manufacturers aren’t required to determine how long they’ll remain potent after that, enabling them to set their own expiration dates.
