Don't worry too much about it. The printed expiry date is just a recommendation by the manufacturers. Keep it in a dry dark place, it will be OK for some years.

Well, look at a can of beans. Sealed. Preserved. Once opened it will decay within days. Keep it sealed it will last for years, well beyond the 'best before use' date. Somehow made to last.

NPR discusses the issue @JimFord99 was talking about,[1] though not specifically with metoclopramide. In the US, drug companies have little incentive to investigate increasing shelf life numbers after their first numbers are approved. As a result, some drugs have shorter official expiration dates than necessary.

ToxNET, a government-funded website, gives a 3 year shelf life for metoclopramide hydrochloride tablets.[2] I haven't had any luck finding longer numbers in reliable sources.

I guess it's safest to go with the expiration date unless you can find more compelling evidence otherwise.
