But do you know that any medicine can sometimes spoil before the specified time printed on it? Actually, before taking medicine, we pay attention to what is the expiry date of that medicine. , But sometimes due to not maintaining the medicine properly, the medicine gets spoiled prematurely.

Why is expiry date written?

Dr. Sunil Yadav, Chief Pharmacist of Lucknow Civil Hospital, said that most of the people pay attention to the expiry date while buying or consuming medicines, but it is important to keep in mind the validity of medicines even while storing them. Many times, due to our carelessness, medicines get spoiled or become ineffective before time due to not being kept in the right temperature or condition. Due to this, not only does the effect of medicines reduce, but sometimes it also has adverse effects on health.
