Avoid Multi-Dose Miscalculations and the Risk for Error
While some drugs packaged in multi-dose vails must be used within hours of opening, others have a longer lifespan and can provide economic benefits to your pharmacy budget. Calculating that time, however, should be determined with a careful eye.
Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, multi-dose vials that have been opened or accessed must be dated with the last date the product should be used and discarded within 28 days, according to The Joint Commission. Convenient 28-Day Multi-Dose Vial Expiration Date Assigner Labels allow your pharmacy team to know that date at quick glance. Once identified, add Beyond-Use Date Labels or Do Not Use Beyond Labelsdirectly to vials to provide an unmistakable cue for health care workers to double check the calendar.
