> I wonder how they come up with the expirey date on drugs, is it a generic "2 years from date of manufacture" or is it a bit more scientific than that?
We were taught when I was working on my PharmD that drug companys performed very strict and scientific studies on the loss of potency of drugs, and would assign a length to expiration based on results, usually to the point where the drug had lost 10% of its potency.
But Phillipa's article makes me wonder if they are really as scientific and strict about it as we were taught.
