I have Mepron left over from 11 months ago, is there a shelf life?

I've taken Malarone for two months and it seems to be helping with the babs, so if I could hit it with the Mepron I think it would be a big help, but it's so expensive I hate to throw what I have out.

Do you have to worry about yeast taking Mepron or Malarone?

Thanks ImLymed

I have no idea about the shelf life --

don't quote me on this, I'm not a doctor.... but I'm pretty sure Mepron, itself, doesn't have any effect on yeast -- it works on the red blood parasites...not bacteria. However, it is usually prescribed WITH a macrolide antibiotic, which is where the yeast comes in....

Hi IMlymed

there is a shelf life for mepron-
it should be printed on the side
of the bottle --its about 2 yrs-

Dont throw away-tons of people
can use it--even if out of date-

Hi

My LLMD (very experienced) said that Mepron lasts for years after the use by date so it would be okay to take for a good while.

my mepron had expiration date.......

you could call the pharm and ask if they could look it up for you.

it's like gold at $700.00 a bottle, you could pay it forward to someone who cannot afford it.
