The medicine bought by a women's clinic in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province was found to have a shelf life of 20 years. Dare you take this medicine?

I can't take this medicine any more. In fact, the woman misread the shelf life on the label. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of vitamin C Yinqiao tablets she bought is 24 months, that is, two years. However, in the past few years, because the relevant state departments did not determine a unified time for labeling the shelf life of drugs, the woman mistakenly regarded 20 months as 20 years, which led to such misunderstanding. Most of us have some standing medicines at home. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about some precautions in using these drugs.

First, we must pay attention to the shelf life when using drugs. Everyone knows that drugs have three kinds of toxicity. No matter how expensive or high-grade drugs are, they will have some toxic and side effects on the body more or less. In order to ensure the health of the body to the greatest extent, the pharmaceutical factory has stipulated a strict expiration date, and eating it within the expiration date will not cause particularly great harm to the body. However, once it expires, no one can say what will happen to the medicinal properties. At present, most high-tech pharmaceuticals are chemical pharmaceutical means, that is, the production method of compounds. Once the time is too long, these compounds may undergo some unexpected changes, and the impact on the body is difficult to estimate.

Second, pay attention to the environment of drug preservation. We've all had this life experience. For example, some bottled medicines may only take one or two tablets at a time, but there is still a lot left in them. In this case, we must pay attention to the sealing management of bottles to reduce the volatilization of drugs and contact with air, so as to ensure the curative effect of drugs to the maximum extent. At the same time, many drugs have certain requirements for storage environment, such as whether the temperature and humidity can be irradiated by sunlight. Therefore, it is best to prepare a medicine box at home, which can store drugs in different categories, which is conducive to the long-term storage of drugs and easy to find when using.

Third, if you have children at home, you must pay attention. Families with children at home must pay attention to the proper custody of drugs, and never put them in places where children can easily reach them. Because children are not sensible and don't know what this thing is, children are born with strong imitation habits. Maybe he can't help but want to try when he sees adults taking drugs, but the child's body is still in the development stage, and the consequences of eating drugs by mistake are very serious. We should have seen many reports of such tragedies on the Internet, which makes people feel sorry.

These are Bian Xiao's views on these incidents and some precautions on how to store medicines at home. If you have different opinions, welcome to interact in the comment area.
