Compounded medication expires quicker??

[jiu jitsu]

So I noticed that my medication, whether it be testosterone, clomiphene, or anastrozole Always has a discard date of around four months from the time I received it in the mail. I found this strange because typical pharmacy medication is usually good for two or three years. So I gave My HRT clinic a call and asked why this was the case. The representative told me that compounded medicine degrades much more quickly.

Can anyone confirm if this is true? And if so why is that the case?

hmm I know that you're supposed to keep un-reconstituted peptides vials like bpc-157 in the freezer

"Unlike registered medicines, compounded preparations have not generally been assessed for safety and efficacy. Their use is off label and is based on extrapolation from the component ingredients.

Short-term expiry dates are provided for compounded products unless their stability has been assessed." - NIH Site

They just need a dry cool dark place, you don't need to freeze them unless your trying to store them for years

Just probably the compounding pharmacies liability stuff. And remember, most things are good way past there shelf life. I don't really like using injectable oils past the life because the oil itself has a shelf life. But most properly stored orals are good for decades

It means that they "don't know".
... But I don't see why they wouldn't be.
I agree with Smont here.

Got it. I got Enclomiphene just yesterday from my HRT clinic, says to discard in 4 months, but planning on using it for fertility reasons in 6 months, think it should still be good to go?

Absolutely. (IMO)
Just keep it in a temperature controlled place, away from sunlight and moisture..
