Our Pharmacy agrees with this as well. Furthermore, they say that labeling the date opened on the containers really has no value as the meds are good until the expiration date regardless of how long the bottle has been opened. However, our company is still enforcing this.

Our pharmacy consultant told us that it is no longer necessary to label stock pills for date opened if the expiration date is circled. Last years survey team agreed. THis year's team wants them labeled with the date the bottles were opened. _________________________________________________________________ Create a Job Alert on MSN Careers and enter for a chance to win $1000! http://msn.careerbuilder.com/promo/kaday.htm?siteid=CBMSN_1K&sc_extcmp=JS_JA Sweep_MSNHotm2 /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
