The exp dates that pharmacies print on the prescription label are completely bogus, they just automatically print the date that is exactly one year from the date of the script. The only reliable exp date for a supply of medication is the one on the original packaging -- some OPs ship meds in the factory bottles, and whenever I've gotten them the exp date has been approximately 2 years away.
If you are getting blister-packed meds, the date should be stamped on the package -- if it is not, I would have to question the legitimacy of the manufacturer -- no legitimate mfr would package meds w/out an exp date.
Well, no, not exactly.
There is an expiration date on the bottle for the prescription, which means that no refills can be made after that expiration date (one year from the original fill.) There will be another date on the bottle, and that is the expiration date of the actual drug itself. So if your meds come in a prescription bottle there should be two dates on the label.
