Question: I have some roids that are expired by 3-5 years. Primo and Sustanon 250, are they O.K. to take, could I get sick from them and will they still work ?
Answer: The expiration date on a steroid package is obviously not like on a carton of milk; it is more of an assurance of quality than a point where the drug must be discarded for safety (though ultimately safety is the key goal). After sitting on a shelf for many years, the steroid in question may not have the same potency. By U.S. standards, a steroid will typically “expire” three years after manufacture. In Europe we usually see this time frame widen to five years. Obviously the drugs are no different, U.S. laws are simply stricter. If you have Primo and Sustanon (both not made in the U.S.), 3 to 5 years past expiration, they have probably been sitting around for 8 to 10 years by now. Does this mean they are worthless? Far from it. I would guess if you had them analyzed, their potencies would be fine. Will they make you sick? I tend to doubt it.
Remember with injectables though, you must be extra careful. If by chance you had a counterfeit filled with inert and less-than-sterile oil, after sitting around for ten years it might not be that clean anymore. Imagine if we were talking about the use of a dirty, 10-year-old fake Winstrol (water based), the results could even be tragic. But provided the product is real Sustanon, pharmaceutically prepared (including an anti-microbial agent such as benzyl alcohol), you are probably safe (at least from anything immediately life-threatening). But it is obviously your decision to risk it or not.
