Short answer
No. The 28-day date is a standard labeling rule for multi-dose vials, not an expiration date. You can use your vial until it’s finished if you store it as directed and it looks normal.
Why the label says 28 days
Multi-dose vials are required to carry a 28-day discard date after first use. It's a standard labeling rule for this type of vial. It isn't the medication's expiration date.
Can I keep using my vial?
Yes. Your vial is meant to last for the full time it was prescribed for. Our providers consider it safe to use until it's finished, as long as you store it as directed on the label and it looks normal.
When to stop using a vial
Don't use it, and message us, if:
- the oil looks cloudy, has particles, or has changed color
- the vial is cracked or the stopper is damaged
- it's past the expiration date printed on the label (this is different from the 28-day discard date)
