If a medication stock bottle contains an expiration date of 3/11, what day does it expire?

  1. The first day of March

  2. The 10th day of March

  3. The 15th day of March

  4. The last day of March

The correct answer is: The last day of March

When a medication stock bottle is labeled with an expiration date of 3/11, it indicates that the medication is valid until the end of that month—specifically, March 31st. This is a commonly accepted interpretation in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, the medication can be used until the last day of March, but it should not be used beyond that date. An expiration date does not imply that the medication will expire at the beginning or mid-point of the marked month; it indicates that the product remains effective and safe through the entire month of March, up to and including the 31st.
