Dr. Rachel Chastanet answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Expired date: Adipex (brand name of phentermine) is a controlled substance. People sell, steal and abuse controlled substances, so the government regulates them, including how long the prescription is active, even if there are refills on the prescription.
