A member asked:
Is 2 year old lorazepam still safe? it has been stored appropriately
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: If stored correctly, medications have a longer shelf-life than stated. Efficacy (not usually safety) is the possible concern. That is how well the medication will work. However, 2 years won't make much of a difference.
