Unfortunately, many of the drugs that were once consumed it is not taken with the left pretty much exhausted so that the drug cupboard. Whether these drugs can be consumed in the future?
Any drug that is made by the manufacturer will of course have its own expiration date. If we buy medicine, make sure we also check for signs of EXP and FDA (food and drug administration). Interestingly, although it has not passed the expiration day, many drugs are too often exposed to sunlight or placed in the refrigerator that change shape and change the quality of the medicine. Temperatures were hot or humid conditions can trigger changes in the form and efficacy of these drugs.

First check whether the drug is still far from the expiration date or not. If the drug was correct has expired, do not hesitate to throw it away because it may be the drug's side effects is not good if consumed. Only drugs was also to be disposed of in a special way so very different from easy as taking out the trash in the trash. To stay safe, garbage medicines must be stored in special landfills harmful additives and medical materials.
If you find a medication that has changed color and form, the drug is usually already expired and should be discarded. Ointment when experiencing expired can be seen from the dried shape and clot. Capsules drugs that have expired will be amended in a different shape and surface increasingly flabby and shapeless.
