Is this a disposable product? I found the label on the bottle says "once opened,discard".

It does say that. I've used it several times to rinse my eyes of allergens. Seems fine to me, even after being open for a week or two. Ingredients are very similar to the bausch and lomb product, which is fine for every day use in this manner.

I purchased this for a school darkroom. Because it is a community space, once the eyewash has been opened, it will be considered contaminated.

I keep the bottle in my shower, and use it each morning when I bathe. I did not read that on the label, and I would not have thrown it out after just opening it, anyway. It works great. It comes with an eye cup, but the eye cup has holes on the side, so I do not use it, since I do not like cold water to run down my face and onto my chest when I use the eye wash. I bought a separate eye cup without holes in it, and it works perfectly.

If you use it according to the instruction with the supplied eyewash cup, you have to use the solution completely quickly. The supplied eyewash cup screw on the top after you unscrew the bottle cap. This is for a work place where eyewash is frequent so the bottle is used up quickly. I use this at home by myself so it last about 5 weeks. I don't use the supplied the eyewash cup. I unscrew the bottle cap, pour the solution to my eye cup, then screw back the cap so no contamination occurs. I think once you screw in the supplied eyewash cup and use it by squeezing the bottle, you pretty much has to discard the rest.

Does the packaging really say that? That's extrely weird as these nipples are disposable. I know people wash them and reuse but they actually must be tossed after one use

Hard to answer that one. I ordered it and kept it unopened for probably 3 months with no issues but once I opened it, I used it all in one application (I had a large area to treat).

Melissa, mine was brand new. I am on the second season using this same bottle. I have used this product for more than five yrs. There may be something better out there but this one does what I want.

Once opened it's good for a month. If unopened use by expiration date on bottom of can.

I use mine anywhere from 4-6 weeks until its gone. A few days after opening seems extreme. I looked at my box again and it says to discard after 6 weeks of opening.

I've had it for a few months now and, from what i can see, there is no difference between when i bought it and today. You just need to store it in a 'cool dry place' and thats it. Also, i'm not even halfway through the bottle yet so i would expect to it to last to the end of this year.

I would say no. There is no recycle symbol on the label and the residue of the contents which are flammable would have to be washed out. There is also a caution about not comming in contact with the skin. My skin is sensative, but I have never had an issue with it.

Not at all. Once you've used it a cover and take it off it is no longer usable. Discard immediately.

The unopened bottle I have says it is good until October 2015. I've been using this great product for about six years.

I'm not sure, the bottle has a (best if used by 2016) on it. Once you open it, you keep it in the refrigerater. If you take 1capful per day the bottle will last about a month.

Mine says it was bottled on 11/1/2013 and has a 3 year shelf life. I got it today (5/12/14), so it did sit for almost 6 months meaning I get 2.5 years of use out of it. I'm sure I'll use it all up in that time frame though, even just using a few drops at a time maybe a couple times per day.

You are right! I looked at my bottle and could not find an expiration date...I may purchase a different brand next time. Thanks for making me aware!

I don't refriderate mine, and never had a problem with it (and a bottle lasts me about a month or little longer.)

I really don't know but I rather doubt that's a concern with this type of product. I've just finished a bottle that lasted me about two months. It's an incredible product and worth a try!

You can keep it in the packaging for as long as you'd like, even if you open it. Once you use it, though, be sure to squeeze out excess water by placing it between your palms and pressing (wringing it out may decrease lifespan of the product) and hang in a dry place until next use. Hope this helps!

I have used mine up and have not replaced yet. But the bottle I had, had 6 months left on expiration when I had checked.
