Near-expiry medicines: return them to the company

Find medicines nearing expiry by company every month and return them before they become a loss.

Munshi Team · 13 Nov 2026 · 1 min read

Every month, list batches expiring within 90 days, group them by company, and send the returns together. Most companies accept near-expiry returns only within their own time window, so late returns are lost money.

Group by company

Example stock only.

Company Item Batch Qty Expiry
Company A Panadol 500mg B-OLD 100 Jan 2027
Company A Brufen 400mg X-22 40 Feb 2027
Company B Augmentin 625 A-91 15 Dec 2026

Before you return

Check each company's return policy: how many months before expiry they accept, and whether they give credit or replacement. Keep the return slip and match it to the credit note.

Sell first-expiring first

The cheapest return is the one you never need: sell the oldest batch first.

The pharma distribution software lists near-expiry batches by company and makes the return in one tap, off what you owe that company. Start free.
