Can I set up a "critical period" drug counter?

Faced with some pharmacies selling expired drugs at a discount, many consumers are full of doubts. The Consumers Association said that "critical period" drugs can be used, but they are obliged to inform in advance when selling.

Ma Heng, a citizen of Shenyang, buys cough medicine for his children. When he got home, he found that it would expire in half a month. Is this medicine still edible? I found a pharmacy and asked for a replacement, but the other party said that the medicine was a special commodity and could not be returned.

The reporter recently visited a number of pharmacies in Shenyang and noticed that there are not a few drugs still on sale, and they are all in eye-catching positions. Some pharmacies also sell them as promotional items, but they don't mention the fact that they are on the verge of expiration. After the purchase, some citizens are afraid to use drugs because they find that they are about to expire; Some citizens buy in bulk for the sake of cheapness, which can't be used up in a short time, resulting in waste.

Similar to medicines, consumers are sensitive to foods that are about to expire. Under the organization of the industrial and commercial departments, supermarkets in many places set up temporary food counters for foods that are about to expire, so that consumers can clearly understand their consumption.

The Shenyang Drug Administration said that the current requirement for drug sales is that drugs are allowed to be sold as long as they are within the shelf life, that is, like food, drugs within the shelf life are safe. The Consumers Association of Anshan City, Liaoning Province said that once the shelf life of food or medicine is about to expire, businesses are obliged to inform consumers. Otherwise, it violates the right to know, and consumers can complain.

In this case, can pharmacies learn from the practice of supermarkets and set up independent and eye-catching "key drug counters"? In this way, the discount promotion is clarified, so that consumers can understand consumption.
