Expiration dates on medications are among the first things to be thrown out. Over time, the efficacy and safety of medications decrease or even become problematic. You run the danger of experiencing unwanted side effects if you hold on to expired prescription or over-the-counter medication. Do not just dispose of them in the garbage; instead, seek out local pharmacy programs that provide information on how to properly dispose of them. You should get rid of any outdated drugs from your house as soon as possible since they might be harmful to children and pets.
