The 8 I get through Medicare at the Walgreens pharmacy are dated like September. I'll have to see if those are also extended. pharmacy.

BinaxNOW with 8/23 expiration

Mine arrived today with 12/4/22 printed expiry but I looked it up and actual extended expiry is 1/4/24. They are Siemens Clinitest which is a brand I have never even seen before. From the previous rounds of free tests, I ended up with mostly iHealth (orange and white box, 2 tests per box) but also a blue/white box that came with 4 tests in the box that I can’t remember the brand. My boyfriend got a mix of iHealth and BinaxNOW for his free tests from the previous rounds. He hasn’t gotten his free tests from this round yet.

Even when I buy tests from the store, I always look up the expiration when I get home, cross out old expiration and write the new one on the box. It’s a habit.

7:30 pm Mail truck just dropped our tests. The mail came already earlier today. Wonder if there's a dedicated truck for this. Anyway - it looks like original exp date (I think) was Mar 22 and extended to Feb 23 (12 months). But it's now extended to Jun 23 (16 months from original date).

Thank you for the update. I got off a cruise ship on Sunday and tested positive this morning. I‘ll probably test a few more times in the next week or so just to see when the test comes back negative.

Where are you seeing extended dates? We got a pack yesterday. On the package it has an hourglass with 12/22 next to it.

My tests arrived today with a May 2023 expiration date. They do not appear on the list at all. Does that mean the date on the box is correct?

Not sure. Maybe try Google that brand with 'expiration dste'.

What brand is it?

What brand is it?

Binax Now, antigen test. The charts I find don’t have any lot numbers or reference numbers beginning with 19. The highest they go is 18.
