Title: Patches out of date????
Post by: Harebell on March 30, 2020, 09:29:09 PM

Hi
I have queued  today outside for my evorel  sequi 6 month prescription and don't want to have to go back!!
I am supposed to be on femseven conti but I don't think it's a available yet. So I was glad to just get something given the Coronavirus situation.
However when I got home I happened to notice that the dates are use by 07/20. Which means my last two packs will be out of date. Does anyone know if I can still use them.

I should think they will all right if they are only two months past the use by date. I think you get a bit of leeway with pharma products and they won't have lost any potency after just two months.

Hi there,you should phone the pharmacy and tell them,that is VERY bad practice,they are supposed to check things like that(I used to work as a pharmacy dispenser)They should still work but may not work as well but do let them know
