Expired drugs: Is it safe to take meds after their expiry date? (Dr Eyetemou Miguel, Pharmacist)

Описание: What does the expiry date of a medicine mean? Is an expired drug still effective? Can you keep taking it? If so, after how many years? What is the real date after which you must absolutely throw away your expired medicine?
These are questions that many patients have already asked me, especially in the African context where there are not always enough financial resources for health, and where many may find themselves in rural areas and landlocked without access to a pharmacy or hospital.
In this new video, your pharmacist answers all these questions about the expiration drugs.
