Hello, Mouse! How are you?

If you have the tablets in a bottle as dispensed by your pharmacy, then the expiration date is one year from the day you had it filled. This is due to the fact that the containers they use expose it to the elements that contribute to degradation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
