Is it OK to use Latisse if it has been expired for several years but remains unopened?

Question

Julia Ann Sullivan Miller, MD · Answer

You should never use a medication that has expired (this includes topical medicines like Latisse) even if the bottle hasn't been opened.  There is an expiration date on bottles for a reason.  Medicines and other chemical ins them degrade over time and they can lose their potency or become other forms of chemicals that have other effects.  Be safe!

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I would not recommend using expired Latisse or other other medications for that matter.  It is safer to use a product within its designed shelf life.

Brian K. Reedy, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.No.If the product is expired do not use it. Throw it out and purchase a new latisse  product.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

No. If the medication is expired, throw it out. At the very least, the efficacy will be affected. And since latisse is used around the eyes, other issues could occur. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I would not use anything expired, although no studies have been done to show if this works or not.  I doubt it will harm you in anyway.  Best, Dr. Emer.
