Why no one has created awareness on domestic storage of drugs?

Since awareness is very much lacking, nothing better can be expected. Exp date is not the sole criteria. Tonics are best discarded if not used before 3 months. Dry syrups made into liquid syrup at home should be discarded if not used With in in 7 days Tablets and capsules in strip packing / in bottles with a drying bag ould be used till the date of expiry provided they are preserved not higher than 30 deg C. Ointments / creams should be preserved in the paper cartoons with cap intact. Injections should always be purchased fresh before taking prick Eye / ear drops should be discarded after 7 days from the day of opening
Answer:
It is probably because no one believes those guidelines. Probably most people have taken expired pills and have found that they still work...usually. Thank you for listing guidelines, though.
