NCIt definition : As part of the CGMP regulations, the FDA requires that drug products bear an expiration
date determined by appropriate stability testing (21 CFR 211.137 and 211.166), after
which the product may not meet the appropriate regulatory agencies requirements..
The FDA defines an expiration date as the date placed on the container/labels of a
drug product designating the time during which a batch of the product is expected
to remain within the approved shelf life specifications if stored under defined conditions,
and after which it may not be used. Expiration dates are generally limited to no more
than 3 years after production, but longer stability periods are allowed for some very
stable materials.;
