Question

What is the procedure of disposal of expired drugs and how can manage stock according to expiry date?

Answer 1

Ans) The best way to dispose of old, unused, unwanted, or expired medicines is to drop off the medicine at a drug take back site, location, or program immediately.
If the medicines that have passed their expiry date, take them to pharmacist, who can dispose of them safely for you.

- Remember that never throw unused or expired medicines in the rubbish bin or flush them down the toilet.

- To easily manage expired medicine stock:

First-expired-first-out (FEFO) inventory logic
One of the most important things you can do to better manage shelf life is to select items from inventory according to their expiry dates rather than the date they were received into your warehouse.

- You can manually check all dates if time permits as a system of writing all dates down of every product is impractical and time consuming, particularly when the majority of products will leave the store far before their expiry dates.
