Do expired medicines become poison? What happens if you take this medicine?

New Delhi, Dated 02 February 2023, Thursday

Whenever we buy something, we usually check its expiry date. Expiry date is also written on each item. From medicine to milk or bread, an expiry date is definitely mentioned. There are two types of dates written in it. In each item, one is written on the date of manufacture of the product and the other is its expiry date. But sometimes it also happens that if necessary we consume the medicine kept at home without checking the expiry date.

When you know that expired medicines go bad and they also end up working or have bad side effects. Expiry date written on medicines does not mean that after a certain date they become poison or their effect is completely removed. In such a situation, today we will know here what is the meaning of the expiry date written on medicines.

What does Expiry Date mean?

Any pharmaceutical company in the world necessarily writes the expiry date on its medicines. Expiration date given on medicines means that after the expiry date given on any medicine, the company's guarantee about its safety and efficacy ends.

We should not consume expired medicine. Taking expired medicine can be very dangerous. We should be careful in case of medicines. But if someone has taken an expired medicine by mistake, you should contact the doctor immediately because it can kill you and the body can react in a different way, some people also get strange infections. If you have small children in your home, you should take special care that the medicines kept in your home are out of reach of children.
