Can I still take the medicine at home after it has expired for a few days? What should I do if the m

It is common in modern families to prepare some daily medicines, but if these drugs are consumed within the expiration date, it is not necessary to use the preparations?

What is a Preliminary Medication?

To figure this out, you must first understand the effectiveness of the drug. The pill boxes we buy usually have "one day valid for a certain year", but the drug failure period is not this time, but the date corresponding to the logo date. For example, if the pharmacy identification is valid until August 19, 2018, then the actual failure period of the drug should be August 18, 2018.

During the period of validity of the drug found, if it is a long time, most people will not need much more, but if they are only a few days, some people will feel that they have no relationship for a few days and throw away very little waste, but mercy. Can I take medication for a few days? Qiu Kaining, deputy director of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, said that even if the port is short-term, it is not recommended.

Because the performance of the drug is a rigorous experimental study, how long it will be reduced. Therefore, expired medications may have two conditions. The first case is a reduction in the effectiveness of the drug.

For example, some antimicrobial drugs, after exhalation, if their antimicrobial effect decreases, can lead to a much lower effectiveness against infection, which leads to an increase in resistance and will not achieve the effect of ** and will delay ** the disease.

The second case is that expired drugs can lead to some toxic substances due to deterioration, which can also cause harm to the human body. After people accept it, there may be two cases, the first case, it is useless because after the expiration date, many drugs are naturally weakened, even if they do not have a medicinal effect, they are not used, and taking this drug does not work. However, it generally does not cause very serious adverse effects.

There is also a situation where you may be poisoned after taking medicine, which is not ** per se, and may also induce some new diseases. It can also cause more serious effects and even affect lives. In this case, you will need to go to the hospital for observation** and have some biochemical and blood tests.

It is clear that this medicine has any effect on the body.

No, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it doesn't matter if it's only a few days old, as long as it's expired, don't eat it anymore. Expired medicine must be disposed of reasonably, and you can choose to throw the packaging into the trash can of hazardous garbage, and never let it be lost to the society and harm others.

If you can't eat it, you have to put these medicines in a fixed trash can, and these drugs generally have expired.

Medicines cannot be consumed after they have expired. 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 weaken 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, you must pay attention to the shelf life of the drug when using it daily, and do not take it if you find that the drug is damp, or if the drug has disintegrated or changed color.

The medicine at home can not be eaten no matter how many days it expires, and it will be harmful to the body if it is eaten, and the most important thing for the body is not to always care about the money for the medicine, and if it expires, you can just throw him into the trash

1. Any drug that expires cannot be used, and any drug has a shelf life. Before using the drug, it is necessary to determine whether the drug is within the expiration date, and only the use of the drug within the expiration date can achieve clinical effect, and it is safe and effective.

2. The use of the drug after the expiration date can weaken the efficacy of the drug or even become invalid. Some drugs may change the chemical properties of the drug after expiration, which may cause allergic reactions or toxic reactions after use, causing more serious problems, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms, and may also cause allergic symptoms such as rashes all over the body, and cardiovascular symptoms such as palpitations, palpitations, and chest tightness. There are also neurological symptoms such as dizziness and headache, and in severe cases, it can cause more serious diseases, so it must not be used when the drug 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 applied in strict 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 certain period of time after opening, otherwise the drugs will lose their effects, 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 is necessary to clean it up regularly, and if there are expired drugs, they should be disposed of in time to avoid accidental ingestion and harm to health.

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.

If there is a small amount of expired drugs or there is no ** point nearby, the following methods can be taken:

First, the drug ** point.

In the community with a special expired drug ** point, we can sort out the expired drugs at home and send them over, put the expired drugs into the expired drug ** box by ourselves, and the relevant personnel will regularly clean up the drugs in the box and then do a unified destruction treatment.

2. Send to the hospital or pharmacy.

If there is no drug point in the community, you can consult pharmacies or hospitals, and some pharmacies or tertiary hospitals have expired drugs. Some hospitals can provide yellow medical garbage bags to ** expired drugs, and then destroy them uniformly.

3. Self-processing methods.

If you don't find the drug ** point, you can only deal with it yourself. For regular tablets, soak them well in water and then pour them into the toilet to rinse them off. The capsule should be broken open first, and the particles in it should be dissolved in water before being poured into the toilet and flushed away.

Sprays should avoid contact with open flames and drain the contents thoroughly before discarding the bottle. Antibiotics, cancer medications and other special medicines should be treated with a doctor or pharmacist before consultation to avoid environmental pollution.

In fact, the best way to reduce and eliminate expired drugs is to purchase drugs reasonably and use them safely. Buy medicines as you go, don't buy large quantities of them at once, and clean up your small medicine box regularly.
