Can I take the medicine after the expiration date?

I accidentally scanned this topic and couldn't resist answering a post.

Of course you can't eat expired medicine, otherwise what is the shelf life of the medicine labeled? Maybe it's not a big deal to eat expired food once in a while, and you'll be fine for a few days, but if you eat expired medicine, not only is it ineffective, but it could kill you! Not only oral medication, but also topical medication must not be used after the expiration date. Even when the drugs are close to expiration, it is best to discard. To prevent because of improper preservation, drug ingredients have long been denatured and ineffective. Especially some heart drugs, if the critical moment does not work, the results will be fatal.

Speaking of personal experience, sugar once hand long small blisters, and then used a kind of topical ointment, but did not find the ointment has expired. As a result, the hand skin abnormal itching, scratching constantly, but also broken skin bleeding, and finally went to the hospital to find a professional doctor to deal with, live off a layer of skin to be good. Visible expired medicine power how powerful.

I really advise you not to save this money, throw away the medicine when it expires, and it is better to throw away the food when it expires, don't eat it again. The safety of food and medicine in our country is a cause for concern, not to mention the expiration date. For dietary medicine this piece, we had better not get into the habit of hoarding, can eat how much to buy how much, the drug is also, don't buy a one-time one or two years, wait until you want to eat the time to find that has long expired. After all, nothing is as expensive as our lives!

Definitely can not be taken again. After the shelf life, on the one hand, the efficacy of the medicine itself has been reduced, and can no longer play a proper therapeutic role. On the other hand, it is very likely that the drug itself will be deteriorated, the safety can not be guaranteed. If you take it blindly, it will not only reduce the therapeutic effect, but also be harmful to your body. Under the premise that safety is not guaranteed, any doctor will not dare to prescribe this kind of medicine to patients, and we, as individuals, should not take expired medicines. Remember to remember.

Hello Thank you for your invitation. Here is my personal opinion, can you still take the expired medicine?1. You can't take it in terms of shelf life.2. It is not as good as the one within the shelf life in terms of its efficacy, but if the expiration time is not longer than half a year or less, I think it is still OK.
