Title: Out of date Vagifem use by april 2020
Post by: pepperminty on May 24, 2020, 09:24:58 AM

Hi ladies,

I found found some vagifem which is use by April 2020. Is it still useable ?  I don't think it suddenly stops working,  ::) ;) but just want to make sure that it is perfectly safe to use it and also how long after the use by date would it be ok- 6 months?

Thanks Pepperminty x

  I would use slightly out of date Vagifem. I did the same with some Evorel Conti kindly sent to me by a member.  It probably gradually loses effectiveness but 1 to 3 or 4 months may make little difference.

Thanks Katejo, I suspected that it probably eventually becomes less effective, but just wanted some reassurance that it is ok , incase there is something I may have missed !

I rarely look at best B4 dates ;-).  I had a box of 'ovestin' from 9 months ago, it's been OK!

Hi pepperminty

I'm sure it will be fine.

I personally wouldn't have a problem using it.
