What dates are on your 15mg pens?

I have 2 spare in the fridge right now but they are both dated 08/2025.

I will need to order another one in a couple of weeks but need one dated longer! Has anyone else had one recently with a longer date on?

I'm just about to ho on 15. I think I'd be OK with August as I only use 4 doses before going on to the next one and we can go right up to the expiry date.

I’ve got a 15mg 2 weeks ago dated 12/26

If you have 2 in the fridge why do you need to reorder soon? Just use those two and then reorder surely?

I just got a 10 and it’s dated Feb 26

I cant as there will be to big a gap between ordering and they wont prescribe the same dose and will make me drop down so keeping up with the ordering schedule.
I will use the pens to maintain anyway so not a problem

If you tell the pharmacy you have a stockpile to use up they will usually allow a bigger gap between ordering. But you need to do this in advance and get it jn writing.

Ah, I switch suppliers each month to get the best deal. They don't know how long ago I ordered and it's never been an issue. They just want to see evidence of my last prescription to prove I have been on 5mg.

It's worth shopping around to see if you can get pens cheaper

I just checked, mines 12/26 too Oushk

I've had longer gaps between ordering than a month regularly (normally about 5-6 wks) and they've never queried it

Also my current pens are 11/26 and 12/26 (10mg)

I do shop around and switch but they ask for proof of when I had my last pen every time.
