Do you often check the expiration date of the medicines inside your shelf?

Yeah, it happens with me too. I do check their expiry dates often, in fact, i have a kind of medicine expiry phobia. I am really conscious on the matter. Also, i believe is always good to check those expiry dates otherwise a these vital entities may prove to be dangerous. Happy Mylotting!!

I don't take medicines, but i did found one bottle of iron about a month ago that had expire on 2006.

I check often and toss anything that is expired. I did this recently and found some that expired may 2008. It was tossed.

Hello friend very important discussion to put up. I have the habit to check the expiration date once in a month and I think thats a good one too. Further, I always check for the expiry date while buying them also and in most of the cases after consuming some medicines the wrappers become such that we may not be able to detect the expiry dates on them. These are very dangerous as in many cases people eat such medicines believing that they had checked the expiry date previously. In such a case I write the expiry date on them with a permanent marker much before its consumption so that it may be suitably utilized without much danger.

I do check them at the medical store itself .Then when I use a medicine after a long time I do take pains to check its expiry date.Its always prevention better than cure.

yes i compulsorily check the expiration date while purchasing the medicine and also the old medicines i have at home.bcoz my grandfather made it a habit to check the expiry date for the medicines.not only for medicines i even check the expiry date of food items i purchase,bcoz some items like bread have only 3-4 days expiry time so it is important to check their expiry date also.

I do check the medicine expiry every time I take it or every time I give someone the medication. It is really important to check them out considering that expired medications may cause serious health problems. They might even cause poisoning.

i do not check the expiration date of medicines in my shelf coz i don't keep them for much longer and i dispose them off after sometime of use but i make it a point to check the expiration date of medicines that i buy at the store.

I do not check my medicine expiry date on regular basis.But i o check the date when i am to give medicine to my son.I am very particular about his medicine.His medicines are mostly cough syrups and digestive syrups and i make myself sure that i am giving him the medicine which has latest manufacturing date.

Ya. i will surely check the expiry date of a medicine. Even before giving money for the medical shop , i will check the expiration date. It is very dangerous to consume expired medicines. Your body will face side effects.

You know, I actually do this periodically. I check the dates. Really, I don't think they are unsafe most of the time, it's just another trick to get us to buy more! But I check the dates every so often jsut to make sure I haven't kept something for like 5 years or anything!

I do this always, even when I buy medicines from over the counter. I don't like Centrum. It makes me feel hungry always.

ya i check the expiration date of medicine to be sure im safe before i take this

I chked, but when it was needed, out of EXP date, I even use it; we have a aid kit in my ofc, which was charged by a colleague, she should chk the exp date regularly, but that's for work,

I was told that if you take out date medication it can cause harm to your liver and or kidneys. For that reason alone I started being careful with all meds and supplements for me and my family.

I do not take any medication, but i do supplement with different things, and since i take them everyday i use them up every month so i will use them up long before the expiration date,

I check the expiration date on everything, medication, milk, I even know you're only supposed to keep canned goods for 18 months.

Yes I often check the expiry date of medicines and keep throwing them away if it is of no more use. Sometimes my box in the medicine cabinet gets overflowed with medicines and capsules that I keep checking for the expiry. If the full course of the medicines prescribed by the doctor is not consumed the chances of accumalation are more and we tend to buy more when there is re attack.

I do not have habit of checking the expiry date of medicines in my shelf regularly. But, I make sure to check it before I take any medicines or give it to anyone. Since the medicines' expiry dates are more than 1-2 years I become lazy to check them frequently. Whenever I take medicine, I check all the medicines and throw the expired ones.

I only check expiry date when I buy the medicines.Very rarely when the color of the medicine wrapper goes off or and it looks very old I check the expiry date.I recommend checking the expiry date often as it can be dangerous to take expired medicines.
