Question Do Medicines Expire?

According to this report, 88% of medicines are still good a full 5.5 years AFTER their "expiration date". Expiration dates are apparently required by the FDA, but there's almost no evidence supporting the validity for an expiration date. Hmmm…??? (I don't claim to be an expert - just came across this info.) Maybe BarryRX knows more? Any pharmacists out there or former drug reps?
