Approximately 1 in 25 adults in the United States will experience a swallowing problem each year [1.8.5]. For many of them, the question is, **do you need a prescription for Thick-It?** The simple answer is no; it is available over-the-counter [1.2.1, 1.3.1].

According to manufacturers, liquid thickeners do expire, with some powdered products having a shelf life of up to 30 months from the manufacturing date when unopened. Determining the shelf life of your liquid thickener is crucial for ensuring both its efficacy and the user's safety, especially for individuals with dysphagia.
