Expiration Extension
On June 5, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the extension of the expiration dates by four months of all lots of EPIPEN® 0.3 mg Auto-Injectors and its authorized generic version currently on the market in the U.S.
This action was based on a careful review of product stability data by Pfizer and intended to alleviate temporary supply constraints at the time of its announcement. Since then, U.S. supplies of EPIPEN and its authorized generic have stabilized to normal levels to meet demand.
The affected lots, which have current expiration dates between February 2019 and October 2020, are listed in the Impacted Product section below and can also be found on FDA’s website. The extension of the expiration dates does not apply to EPIPEN JR® (epinephrine injection, USP) 0.15 mg Auto-Injectors and its authorized generic version. Patients must continue to adhere to the manufacturer’s expiry date labeled on EPIPEN JR 0.15 mg and Epinephrine Injection, USP Auto-Injectors 0.15 products.
