Do you check for the expiry date before using the medication
BACKGROUND
Medicines have expiry dates so you
know when to use them by. After the expiry date medicines may not be safe or lose
some or all of their effectiveness (ability to work). If you’ve had a medicine
for a while, check the expiry date before using it. You should also make sure
that you’ve stored the medicine properly. If your medicine looks, tastes or
smells different to when you first got it, even if it’s within the expiry date,
take it to your pharmacist for advice You can find the expiry date on the
medicine packaging or on the label.
