> Hi, I was wondering how long you could keep the med Klonopin before it loses its potency or effectiveness. Or does Klonopin have an experation date. I was asking because I have a surplus of the med. Medication left over when I didn't use all of previous prescriptions. I now have a full bottle left over now, but I don't know whether it is any good or not and if it is ok to take them. The pills are about 4-5months old . I have one of those vaccum sealer products that you can seal food in. And I used it to seal the Klonopin prescription bottle in. I was wandering if this might help preserve the med?. Anyones comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks


the shelf life of many meds is more than the one year expiration date given on prescription bottles the US pharmacy I go to {eckerd's}.

unless you are given the original bottle by the pharmacist, this can be confusing, and probably leads many people to throw out their pills prematurely.

Check out the shelf life for particular meds here:
