Veterinary Drug Expiry Tracker
Track veterinary drug lots, quantities and expiry with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts — tuned for an academic research lab. 100% in your browser.
Log every veterinary drug with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so vivaria and veterinary clinics use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 2.0 year(s); stored per label (often 2–8 °C). Designed to prevent expired drugs invalidating the withdrawal-period record.
Default shelf-life for this category ≈ 730 days from manufacture. Items within 45 days of expiry are flagged.
This is a record-keeping aid, not a legal compliance system. Controlled-substance handling is governed by your national authority (e.g. DEA, Home Office, NDPS). Keep the official bound register your regulator requires and reconcile against it.

Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO and why does it matter for veterinary drugs?+
FEFO means First-Expired-First-Out: you consume the stock with the nearest expiry before newer stock, regardless of when it arrived. For veterinary drugs this avoids expired drugs invalidating the withdrawal-period record, cuts waste and keeps results consistent. This tracker sorts every entry by expiry automatically so the next item to use is always at the top.
How long do veterinary drugs typically last, and how should they be stored?+
Unopened, a veterinary drug commonly carries about 2.0 year(s) of shelf-life, stored per label (often 2–8 °C). Always defer to the lot-specific expiry on the certificate or label — manufacturer dating accounts for the exact formulation and is what an auditor will check.
Is my inventory data private?+
Yes. Everything is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — no account, no upload, no server. That offline-first design is exactly what institutional IT and sensitive research environments require, and it means the tool keeps working with no internet.
Can I use this for an academic research lab?+
Yes — this variant is tuned for an academic research lab: the reorder alert is set to 45 days. Add your own columns by adapting the entries, and export to CSV to feed your ordering or LIMS workflow.
