Does Adderall Expire

Written by Communications and Marketing

|

What exactly does that mean, though? The FDA explains that their regulations require a proposed expiration date for medications to be approved. The pre-expiration period reflects when the drug is “stable,” meaning that the strength, quality, and purity are solid. Extensions of those expiration dates can and have happened if a manufacturer applies to do so, but they don’t always. Further, much testing and many factors are a part of the process, so the situation is complicated in determining an expiration date. “The shelf-life of medications, including Adderall, is determined by rigorous testing performed by the manufacturer,” says Dr. Elizabeth A. Hall, Pharm.D., BCPS, BCPPS, an assistant professor of clinical pharmacy and translational science, as well as the associate vice chancellor of academic, faculty, and student affairs at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. “Many factors determine shelf-life, so always refer to your prescription bottle for the expiration date and ask your pharmacist any questions.”
