Correct answer: B — Use an appropriate expiry based on the manufacturer's expiry and pharmacy SOP
Split packs should be labelled and managed according to pharmacy SOPs, with an appropriate expiry that does not exceed the manufacturer's expiry and accounts for packaging integrity. The patient needs safe information about use. Leaving expiry blank is poor practice. Arbitrary dates are unsafe.
