Bioequivalence and Bioavailability Forum

Hi Achievwin,

❝ India and some countries (I believe, UK and Europe) print Manufacturing and expiration dates, whereas US prints only Exp. Date (MM/YYYY). I want to here what is our peers experience in ex-US countries.

Just checked one package (other drug!) manufactured in Austria, which I bought today. No manufacturing date, just ‘verw. bis 09/2027’ (German short for ‘usable until 09/2027’). Nothing on the blisters. The patient’s leaflet states only the storage conditions.
Same with another drug also manufactured in Austria but the shelf-life is additionally printed on the blisters.
I guess, it is similar in other members states of the EU.
A drug manufactured in Denmark but distributed in New Zealand gives the expiry (MM/YYYY) and storage conditions on the package. Nothing on the blisters.
