Do you watch expiry dates........?

Yes !! I do check twice for date of Expiry whenever i get a medicine from store. Fortunately for me , The Shop owner prints the bill with the Expiry date and lot no , so i have not yet got a problem. I buy medicines from him only , and can vouch for the correctness of the bill as i have been purchasing from him for the past 15 years.

i am always always perticular about expire date.

Really busybee, expiry date play an essential role in all kind of stuffs especially on edible stuffs as well as medicines. Therefore before purchasing any stuff I would like to read the expiry dates first. I would abandon it in case I couldn't get any expiry date on it. I like stuffs to have both the manufacturing and expiry dates. I always consider it's safe to take medicines and food and drinks which are still within the expiry dates. I am extremely cautious in taking medicine. I'm afraid that medicine or food or drinks which is expired might bring high risk to harm our health especially feeding expired medicine or food to our young toddlers Take care and happy posting

I pay more attention to the expiry date more than the manufacturing date. I will look at the expiry date mostly on food, as I really don't want to eat something that has gone bad.

always, not only the medicine, but also food and beverage. there are so many shop here that still sold the expire food. i don't want to get health problems by eating or drinking expire goods

Of course, I am agree with you, it's very important to watch for expiry date in every one product, especially for medicine, because our health is the most important thing for us.

Yes of course! I also look at the expiry date of every food and medicines I take. Eating expired food and medicine is like slowly poisoning our body. If it says bet before, i take my chances.

not only for medicines but for food also. I always look at the expiry first before buying. especially the ones in the discount section.

I am forever looking at dates on all the things that i get.I am also always looking at the dates aswell on the things that are also in the cupboards in my house as i like to use the things that are older first as that way i do not have to throw things away as i think also that people never check the things that they have stored up.If something is out of date then i throw it in the bin, i never use it as you never know whats going to happen.

I hardly ever think to check the date when I purchase most medications. However, once I get it home and stored I check it. I really don't use too many medications anyway. But I do occasionally go through everything in the medicine cabinet to see if they have expired or not. A lot of them will not hurt you if they are expired, but they will not be effective either.

I used to not care earlier but once when my dad sick and was admitted for food poisioning because of any expired milk drink that he had. I have become extra careful and now always check for the expiry date in whatever I purchase and I hope that all my fellow mylotters do too.

yup... i make sure to check the expiry date on medicines, vitamins and even groceries... we have a lot of bottles of vitamins here some are already expired, i make sure to label them and keep them away.. my mom said she will just use those expired vitamins for her plants...

I only watch the expiry dates of medicines. When my mom tells me to head over to the grocery store i hardly look up at the expiry dates and my mom would see that later at home and she would send me back to exchange the item....

I also look for the expiry dates of food and medicines. One time, I failed to this and took a medicine that was expired. After several hours, I noticed that I still felt the same and the medicine was not effective. I checked the other tablets remaining and it was expired! Luckily, no other side effects was experienced from the expired medicine. :)

When I buy medicines I see to it I read the expiry date. It is very important to me but sometimes when in a hurry I did not look to any label but seldom I got expired medicines. Still precaution is in my mind always whenever I buy other products or medicines.

Well, when I buy food and other consumables that I eat. Yes, I do check the expiry dates. Before, I buy them and before I cook them.

I too watch expiry dates on medicines as i hav suffered once due to this expiry thing...i think every 1 shud be cautious abt this ..as ppl from villages dun even think abt seeing the name of medicine ...
