The Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) came into force on 9th February and whilst there are a lot of packs in circulation that do not carry some or all of the new safety features, you will no doubt have seen some new FMD compliant packs.
Whether it new or old packs, you will likely have come across different formats of the expiry date (EXP) within the human readable text on packs.
It is safe to proceed with stock that differs from the mm-yyyy format, such as that featured in the top image (above) which follows the less familiar yy/mm/dd format.
