Medicine expiry tracker: never find an expired medicine again
An expired box at the back of a drawer is easy to miss, and easy to avoid. An expiry tracker takes the remembering off your plate.
What to do
- 1Find the expiry date on the box, often marked EXP or a month and year.
- 2Note it down once, together with the medication.
- 3Check your list every few months, or let something do it for you.
- 4Dispose of expired medicines the way your local pharmacy advises.
How Pharmacy Cabinet helps
- Expiry alerts show what is expired or about to expire as soon as you open the app.
- Duplicate-entry alerts tell you when a medication is already in your cabinet, before you buy it again.
- The whole household sees the same list, so nobody has to remember for you.
- An expiry tracker built into your medication tracker, so nothing has to be checked by hand.
