The good news continues for those who rely on EpiPens! The FDA has extended the expiration date of some EpiPens due to shortages. As the school year begins the demand for this life-saving drug has continued to rise. After manufacturing delays and supply disruptions, pharmacies have been struggling to keep EpiPens in stock.
How is the Expiration Date Changing?
The FDA has received “stability data” from Pfizer, a manufacturer of EpiPens, and conducted its own review to conclude the devices are effective beyond the expiration dates set by the manufacturers. This expiration date extension will only apply to specific lots of EpiPen that are expired or close to expiring. Specific batches of 0.3 milligram products manufactured by Mylan may be used for four months beyond their expiration dates. If you have any concerns regarding the usability of your EpiPen, contact your dispensing pharmacy.
