It is very important to check for the expiry date when you buy it from the pharmacy.. sometimes the medicine is due to expire very soon and that can be really harmful to your health. This is a general practice to check for expiry date, dosage etc. when you buy medicine and everyone should follow it.

i always do check the expiry date not only medicines but all edible products. not only i check the expiry date, i also check the ingredients of the medicinces. not all medicine's ingredients are good for the health. taking for example PPA (phenylpropanolamine) in cold medicines and some weight loss pills, which can cause hemorrhagic strokes or cerebral bleeding.

Definitely, I will do that. Actually not only on medicine, I do check the expiry on all the food and drinks that I am going to buy. It's really risky to consume over due product. Medicine is even critical, because the person who need it is already not in good health condition. The effect is even worse, if the medicine turn bad and cause more serious consequences.
