In pharmacy practice and per USP/FDA conventions, when a manufacturer’s expiration date is expressed only as a month and year (e.g., “EXP 03/2026”), the product remains usable through the last day of that month. This standard is applied for product beyond-use and stock management, ensuring consistent interpretation across labeling and inventory control.
