Question
Can medications that are two months expired be consumed? The doctor said it’s okay to take them, but they will expire in just two months. Family members suggest not taking them, what should I do?
Answer
It’s best not to purchase such medications. Although consuming them won’t cause serious harm to the body, their effectiveness has greatly decreased and they are almost ineffective for treatment. It is recommended not to buy medications that are about to expire, especially those like indomethacin suppositories that are ineffective for fever reduction. Choosing more expensive medications with a longer shelf life will yield better results. Only medications that have not expired can ensure safe consumption and effective treatment.
