Expiratin of Latisse

Thank you for your question. Medication bottles (including Latisse) have expiration dates on the bottles. Although the product may still be effective after the expiration date, I would probably want you to get new bottles of Latisse that were not expired.

How long can you use Latisse after expiration

 As a doctor, we should not be advising people to take expired medications and I would advise you to buy new Latisse. No one can really ensure how efficaceous the medication is after the expiration date.  Why?  The conditions with which the medication Often, medications are still good for a variable period of time, so if you want to try, it is possible that the medication is still active.

Using Latisse After it Has Expired

Many medications are actually still quite effective long after their expiration date. The dates are usually there because of FDA requirements.
