validity period/approval duration
If it's followed by a date, we say 'expiry/expiration date' or 'valid until', but since it's expressed in months, then it's 'validity period' in pharmaceutical terminology.
'Shelf life' is vague; it's what you would see on a loaf of bread. Here you're talking about the approval process and the period for which the drug is approved and allowed to be sold.

Andy Watkinson
: Several of your references would appear to be used when referring to licence/license validity periods. Not the same.

FDA - Shelf life
The best way to verify long-term stability would be to stockpile supplies, let them sit for years, and even decades, and then test them. My American colleagues can thank their government for doing just such testing- the Department of Defense/FDA Shelf Life Extension Program has been in place for over 20 years.

4. Use of terms
The following working definitions or explanations are offered for a number of the terms used in this text. [...]
Shelf-life (expiration dating period or validity period): The period of time during which a drug product is expected, if stored correctly, to remain within specification as determined by stability studies on a number of batches of the product. The shelf-life is used to establish the expiry date of each batch."
http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/d/Jh1813e/3.2.4.html
"UNICEF

[...]
Shelf life and Storage
1. The assigned shelf life and recommended storage conditions should reflect the outcome of stability studies, as per WHO guidelines and be printed on labels and leaflets. Acceptable temperature excursions should be specified."
https://www.unicef.org/french/supply/files/UNICEF_Technical_...
I think either "shelf life" or "validity period" would be acceptable.
