Stability & shelf life
The product degraded or failed stability testing before its labeled expiry. Heat, moisture or time can break the drug down into degradants or reduce potency.
560 FDA drug recalls with this cause, newest first.
These recalls involve products whose stability data no longer supports the expiry date on the label, or that failed a stability test before that date. A medicine that loses potency early does not just stop working as well; it can also change chemically into something FDA never approved. The fix is usually a shorter shelf life for future lots.
