30 days in perfect conditions

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. .The pharmaceutical company could not provide exact shelf life of methadone due to its effects by many environmental factors.
Providing a perfect storage Conditions and dry environment 30 days is the maximum time a methadone can be used once the seal is broken.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
