Expiry dates on medication

Complaints after patients given medicines with different expiry dates

A pack of Nasal Decongester has a sticker on it with an expiry date written as Exp 05/2017.

The sticker was removed and another expiry date appeared on the pack as Exp: 05/16.

Kaniva News has seen photos purported to show the medication from the Pharmacy with the controversial expiry dates.

Attempts to contact the pharmacy were unsuccessful.

However, Tonga’s Minister of Health Saia Piukala said he had spoken with the pharmacy concerned and they were aware of the complaints.
