How long is it actually safe to use opened emeprid for?

I can’t check the bottle at the moment but I think it’s been open just over a year…

Kind of desperate for some emeprid at the moment so I’m not sure if it’s safe to give any! It’s a full bottle almost
 
I believe it is 6 months with higher solutions being around a month.

I would not risk it, and unless you were properly sterilising each syringe after use there is a high chance there is quite a lot of bacteria in it aside from the amount of time it has been open.
 
Thank you, I didn’t want to risk it. Yeah I understand what you mean about the syringes, I wasn’t sterilising them so I best hope the new stuff comes soon 🙈
