Picture this: Your head is killing you, so you open your medicine cabinet in hopes of finding some Advil. It's there! But wait. It expired a year ago. Now what? 想象一下:你现在头疼的厉害,所以你打开药柜希望找到Advil止痛药。找到了!但等一等,一年前药就过期了。现在该怎么办? It's a predicament most of us have faced, so it begs the question: What do expiration dates on over-the-counter and prescription drugs really mean, and is it ever safe to take expired medication? After all, who decided that your go-to migraine relief can't be consumed after, say, April 23, 2020? 大多数人都面临过这样的困境,所以引出了这样的问题:非处方药和处方药的过期日期意味着什么?吃过期的药是否安全?毕竟,谁规定了偏头痛止痛药过了2020年4月23日就不能吃了呢? |
