Suboxone Shelf Life

I am moving to Florida. I have 50 Suboxone and I would like to save them. How can I keep them fresh and how long will they last until they go bad?

Hello The Bird,

Here are some tips from the medlineplus gov page to keep your pills in the best condition.

•Know that heat, air, light, and moisture may damage your medicine.
•Store your medicines in a cool, dry place. For example, store it in your dresser drawer or a kitchen cabinet away from the stove, sink, and any hot appliances. You can also store medicine in a storage box, on a shelf, in a closet.
•If you are like most people, you probably store your medicine in a bathroom cabinet. But the heat and moisture from your shower, bath, and sink may damage your medicine. Your medicines can become less potent, or they may go bad before the expiration date.
•Pills and capsules are easily damaged by heat and moisture. Aspirin pills break down into vinegar and salicylic acid. This irritates the stomach.
•Always keep medicine in its original container.
•Take the cotton ball out of the medicine bottle. The cotton ball pulls moisture into the bottle.
•Ask your pharmacist about any specific storage instructions.

As for the shelf life of your medicine you would really need to ask your pharmacist about that. Best of luck.
