But below most circumstance, the expiration period that you need to remember every drug not quite how long, mix because of the outer packing of medicines and chemical reagents on aluminum foil board, often can tag " before this date effective " , perhaps use a letter " EXP/Expiration Date " express
Resemble such.
EXP 20200311 expresses before March 11, 2020 effective.
2, expire can medicine eat?
Overdue medicine had better not eat.
Generally speaking, medicines and chemical reagents " the expiration period " the meaning is, medical look forward to assures reasonable before this date saved medicaments safety is effective, but after exceeding period of efficacy, do not do to quality assure, this is not to say " expire to be equal to trashy " or " expire to eat a complication with respect to regular meeting " .
After all, on March 11, 2020 23:59 and on March 12, 2020 00:00 lay between a minute, medicine deteriorates quickly inside a minute unlikelily also... but, quality of medicines and chemical reagents is responsible, after that a minute different.

The medicine that needs cold storage may have different reason, but all remedy that need cold storage can be on the manual tag clearly, it is very important to see a manual so.
Some medicaments have active, if encounter high temperature to may be destroyed,bring about miss work, in needing to maintain existence low temperature continuously so, for instance vaccinal.
Cold storage does not need before some medicaments unseal, but cold storage of the need after unsealing, for instance the ministry uses medicine or eyedrop especially.

But in home, still do not have such unity to identify a system at present, once do not take care to cannot identify pill, cannot find the case that pack again, can throw away only.
