What Is The Shelf Life Of Prednisone Pills?

Question: What is shelf life of prednisone?
Brief Answer:
Generally two to three years.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
The shelf life of Prednisone is, on average, 2 -3 years, but it depends largely on how it is formulated (different fillers and carriers, etc). So it varies from one manufacturer to the next.
If your Prednisone was filled by a US pharmacy, it should have an expiration date on the bottle.
It should also list the manufacturer, and you can contact them if the expiration date is no longer readable.
I hope this information helps.
