Cyclobenzaprine Shelf Life

Updated

I have a prescription that was prescribed to me on 8/21/12 for muscle spasms and pain. However, more recently, I have been experiencing the exact same symptoms as before. Is it safe to still take this prescription if there are still some left?

Hello, Debbie! How are you?

According to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the expected shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years). After that, they tend to lose efficacy.

Reference: https://risingpharma.com/product/2392/

NOTE: For maximizing the shelf-life, the product description depicted on Rising Pharmaceuticals website as well as on DailyMed suggest that the recommended storage temperature is 20-25 degree celsius (68-77 degrees fahrenheit).

As to the symptoms, it may be best to consult your doctor rather than just assuming it is due to the same problem.

Anyone with special interests in mind (the almighty dollar in this case) will tell you to get a new prescription. You will never get an answer to how long a drug keeps its potency because it isn't in their best interests.
