Where do you store EXPIRED DRUGS in the pharmacy?

Expired drugs must be kept separate from all in‑stock medications to prevent accidental dispensing and to ensure proper disposal and recordkeeping. A designated, clearly labeled area for expired items allows staff to quickly identify and remove them from inventory, arrange return to the supplier or disposal through approved programs, and maintain accurate inventory controls. Storing expired meds with current stock, in a fridge, or with non-drug items increases the risk of mixing them with active inventory or mishandling disposal.
