The expiration times for each medication can be edited in the Settings area of the application. It is mandatory to consult with the health care facility’s pharmacy department in order to determine the correct expiration time limits for each drug in the initial database, as well as for any new drugs added.
Expiration times are determined both by the stability of the specific medication, as well as the potential for microbial contamination. Medication expiration times can vary by the specific drug, by the manufacturer, and by the specific formulation. The expiration times also vary by the environment and technique in which the medication is transferred from the original container to a secondary container.
