Opioids Expired fentanyl patches

[mindtools]

Hey
does anyone know how long can they be used after expiriation date? Maybe someone know if they become inefficient or toxic?

Any help appreaciated

 

[mrflowers00]

they should work for a couple of years i think

 

[mindtools]

thx, have you tried one?

 

[whatsup73]

it will just mean they wont be as potent. whats the date on them

 

[mindtools]

I don't have them yet. A friend who's not interested in drugs just told me he might have expired patches from his parentes drug cabinet. Now I'll ask him to get them ; )

I'm sure they're fine. Opiates tend to last years and years. Hope you have a high tolerance and nothing is wrong with the patch itself (the plastic part that releases the drug).

I can't describe my tolerance - since I'm doing poppy seed tea (0,25-1,25kg, where above 0,75kg I feel high) it's pretty fucked up
Like today, I took 70mg of tramadol, followed by nearly 300mg of codeine, and while I feel nicer than without them, I can't say I'm high.
What a wonderful world would it be without tolerance ; )

Fentanyl should last forever, I would treat them as still being 100% active. Better safe than sorry.

Fentanyl patch expiration dates are meaningless unless they are perhaps decades old. I doubt there will be any of loss of potency, never ever underestimate fentanyl.

Whatch for trichoderma.. once that shit starts growing on the package you only have 30 days to use em

last month there was a small wave in my area of fent patches that "expired" in '06.

they still worked great.

Most all meds are the same. The manufacturer guarantees the potency until the expiration date. After that date they begin to slowly decay. I've done meds 10 years past their exp date and there was a noticeable loss in potency. Just examine your stuff, make sure it looks okay and go for it. As long as it's not decayed, discolored, or have sediment or something gross looking you'll be fine.
