    Definitely not, first of all, the active ingredient of the medicine is invalid, and harmful substances are produced.

    You can't take the medicine for a day after it expires When cleaning up the small medicine box at home, many people have encountered such a problem: a box of amoxicillin capsules is marked with an expiration date until June 2006. So, is this deadline June 1 or June 30?

    Are there any adverse effects if taken during the month of June? Can you take the medicine on the expiration threshold? Regarding this problem, Wang Rulong, chief pharmacist of the Pharmacy Department of Beijing Friendship Hospital, explained:

    If the expiration date of the drug package is not indicated, it should refer to the last day of the month. For example, the expiration date until June 2006 means that as of June 30, 2006, it still has the effect of taking it on that day. For medicines that have expired for a few days, some people take a fluke and think that as long as the appearance and smell do not change, they can continue to take it.

    Wang Rulong reminded that this kind of fluke is very dangerous. Because, after most drugs are produced, the efficacy will slowly decrease, and according to the relevant standards, the efficacy of the drug is reduced to a certain extent, that is, it is considered invalid. Antibacterial drugs such as amoxicillin and norfloxacin have a relatively fast rate of drug efficacy, and if the expiration date is exceeded, there will be no effect after taking it, and it may delay the condition.

    In addition, drugs that have passed their expiration date may be broken down into other products, and these decomposition products can cause adverse reactions to the body. If you take a spoiled drug, not only will it have no effect, but it will also cause bacterial infection. Topical drugs such as Elosone, if they continue to be used beyond the expiration date, are likely to cause allergies; Tetracycline tablets may affect liver function.

    The above adverse reactions may not occur in everyone, but for the sake of safety, for the expired drugs, you must not be merciful, even if the appearance and smell have not changed, you can not continue to eat. Although the effectiveness of the drug gradually decreases before it expires, careful storage can delay the rate of deterioration of the drug's effect. In addition to strictly following the instructions for preservation, Wang Rulong also taught a simple way to put the medicine or medicine box into a double-layer plastic bag and then put it in the refrigerator to ensure the quality of the medicine.

    1. You can't take it again after the medicine expires.

    2. First of all, the effect of the drug will be weakened, and secondly, the deterioration of the drug may cause serious problems, which is not conducive to human health.

    3. The expiration of the drug may weaken the effect of the drug, which is relatively light, the key is that some drugs will deteriorate after the expiration of the drug, causing some more serious problems, such as some nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., and in severe cases, it will also cause some more serious diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it must not be eaten when the medicine expires.

    <>1. Expired medicine cannot be eaten or used.

    2. Because after the drug expires, its pharmacological effect and efficacy will be reduced, and it may decompose some harmful substances, or its high quality will increase, which will cause harm to the human body. Therefore, the application of any drug must be strictly in accordance with the instructions, otherwise the effect of the drug will not be achieved, so that it will not work on the disease.

    3. If there are medicines that need to be refrigerated, some medicines will be used up within a small amount of time after opening, otherwise the drugs will lose the effect of the drugs, and even poison after eating. In this way, not only does it not have a ** disease, but it adds new diseases and causes adverse consequences.

    4. Therefore, if there is a spare medicine at home, it should be cleaned up regularly, and if there are expired drugs, they should be disposed of in time to avoid accidental ingestion and harm to physical health.

    Dear, hello, I'm glad to answer for you, the medicine is not allowed to be taken after the erection period, because the effective concentration of the drug will be volatilized or metabolized with the extension of time, such as the enzyme in the enzyme preparation, its function will be weakened with the extension of time; After the probiotic live bacteria preparation expires with the extension of time, the inactivation of probiotics will be greatly increased, which will affect the efficacy of the disease. In addition, toxicity in the drug can increase over time, delaying**. Therefore, we must pay attention to the shelf life of the drug when using it daily, and if Yu Da finds that the drug is damp, or the drug has been disintegrated or discolored, do not take it.
