Lorazepam expire?

Yes. Lorazepam, like all medications, has an expiration date printed on the bottle or box. After that date, the manufacturer can’t guarantee potency or safety, so you should not use expired lorazepam.

If you have expired lorazepam:
- Do not take it.
- Dispose of it properly. Many places have take-back programs. If none are available, you can mix the pills with an undesirable substance (e.g., coffee grounds or cat litter), put the mixture in a sealed container, and throw it in the trash. Remove or blur the label to protect your privacy. Do not flush medications down the toilet unless the instructions say to.

Storage tips to help maintain potency (while in date):
- Keep in the original container, tightly closed.
- Store at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and light (not in the bathroom).

If you’re unsure about the date, or you need to adjust your treatment, talk to your pharmacist or prescribing clinician. If you’re experiencing anxiety symptoms or withdrawal concerns, they can give you safe alternatives. If you have a possible overdose or severe symptoms, seek urgent medical help.
