USP 797 Revisions interpretations for BUD and Exp dates

Hello,

Upon reading USP 797 revised, at line 1552 the new standard describes the BUDs required on the product label. It looks to me that they are requiring both a date beyond which administration must not begin AND the date after which a preparation must be discarded.

Have others interpreted this to mean that we need to differentiate and include on our pharmacy labels both the BUD and the expiration date?
