Does Botox expire? We have had the same unmixed (no solution) vial for almost 6 months.

Question

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

If you look at the vial you should clearly see an expiration date on it. There is also an expiry date and lot number on the packaging.

Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD · Answer

Botox does expires, the expiration date is at the bottom of the box with the lot number too. One the Botox is reconstituted and the vacuum is not violated, may last for 1 week.

Marilyn Pelias, MD · Answer

I am confused by your question.  The vial has an expiration date on it.  Usually there is at least one year on a newly purchased vial from allergen.

Robert Savage, MD (retired) · Answer

Of course it can expire,simply read the label should be right there unless you got some suspect"non Allergan" product

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I'm sorry...but as an injector you should know the answer to this! Botox vials are labeled on the side of the box and the vial itself with an expiration date. This expiration date is for pre-constitution. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
