What's the shelf life of gvoke?

What is the shelf life (expiration) of Gvoke?

Gvoke (the glucagon injection/auto-injector products) has a labeled expiration date that appears on the specific package you have. The practical “shelf life” shoppers and patients should follow is that printed expiration date, since it can vary by product type and lot.

How should you check if your Gvoke is still good?

Check the label on the carton and the individual device:
- Use the expiration date printed on the package.
- If the expiration date has passed, don’t use it.
- Follow storage instructions on the label (temperature/light conditions) because improper storage can shorten usable life even before the printed expiration date.

Does shelf life differ between Gvoke types (hypopen vs prefilled syringe)?

Yes. Gvoke is sold in more than one form, and shelf life can differ by presentation. Always use the expiration date specific to the device you’re holding (the exact product name shown on your box).

What happens if Gvoke is expired?

Don’t rely on an expired dose in an emergency. If you think the device may have expired or been stored incorrectly, replace it so you have medication that matches the labeled shelf life.
