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
