What is the shelf time of Prozac beforehand it loses it potency?

My wife ran out but we found an old-fashioned bottle from 2000. Will these pills still work?What is the shelf time of Prozac beforehand it loses it potency?
Nope, they are too old:
Shelf Life and Special Precautions for Storage
20 mg capsule: Three years < 30°C
Dispersible tablets: Two years < 25°C
no probably not my mother is a nurse and says meds loose here potency after about 2 years.
Entirely depends on how the pills be stored. Most cases, no they are not potent any longer. When pharmacies receive their medications from the in one piece saler, it already has an expiration date on the bottle. Most times this expiration date can be extended by a few years given it is surrounded by a controlled environment.
Legally however, prescriptions are only honest for a year from the date written.
