Botox Expired - What are side effects and duration in such a case?

Although there are no
serious side effects commonly associated with expired Botox, we would recommend
not using it and sticking with products that have been tested and predictable
before the expiration date.

It would be irresponsible to recommend undergoing treatment by any medication which is expired.  Let common sense dictate your decision-making process rather than your pocketbook.

IT IS NOT WISE TO USE EXPIRED BOTOX SINCE YOU WILL NOT GET THE SAME RESULTS THAT YOU WERE HOPING FOR. 

Thank you for your question. It is not recommended to use expired Botox. The effectiveness of the product will be greatly diminished. Best,

I do not recommend the use of expired medications in any circumstances.Sometimes donated products end up in countries outside the U.S. This is unfortunate and such products should not be used in humans. 

Have you ever seen Botox before it gets reconstituted?  It looks like air!  I remember the first time I purchased Botox and went to reconstitute it, and I thought "somebody ripped me off, there is nothing in there."  There are expiration dates on everything, including that flour which stays in the pantry for years.  While no one can officially recommend it, common sense dictates that the use of Botox is probably, absolutely fine after staying on the shelf for 2 extra months.  I have observed over the years that these expired products typically find their way into family members at many offices, and I have never heard of an expired Botox disaster.  Best of luck

I recommend that you do not receive treatment with expired Botox. The expiration date is there for a reason.

Thanks for your question. The reasonable answer would be don't use expired Botox. The results will most likely not be the same if you use expired Botox.

The conservative, politically correct and legal answer would be don't do it.That said, I have personally had expired Botox treatments more than once with great outcomes.Since I served as patient and provider, I take full responsibility for my own actions.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
