Never Dispense Expired Medicine Again

Automated expiry alerts and FIFO dispensing to reduce waste and protect patient safety.

The Challenge

Why expiry mismanagement costs clinics money and reputation

  • Expired medicines discovered during annual audits — thousands in write-offs.
  • Pharmacists manually check dates on shelves — time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Near-expiry stock not prioritized for dispensing, leading to waste.
The Solution

Automated expiry alerts with FEFO dispensing priority

Opdio tracks expiry dates for every batch and alerts you 30, 60, and 90 days before expiration. FEFO logic prioritizes near-expiry stock for dispensing, minimizing waste and protecting patient safety.
