Question
I have some from early January this year, is there a shelf life on these.

Answer
Hi,Robert!
They should be good for a year from dispensing, but unless you know that you are treating the same infection,and you have enough for the entire treatment, I would not take them. Taking them for an inadequate number of days will not get rid of an infection and contributes to antibiotic resistance. Hope this helps, Mary
