What is the process of rearranging stock so that the drug with the earliest expiration date is on the shelf first called?

Stock rotation is an important practice in pharmacies and other healthcare settings to ensure that medications are used in the order of their expiration dates. By implementing stock rotation, the oldest stock is moved forward, and newer stock is placed behind it. This helps to minimize the risk of expired medications being dispensed or used, ensuring that patients receive medications that are still within their potency and safety limits.
