Can the medicine that has been prescribed still take?Can't just look at these tricks these tricks to help you effectively identify deterioration drugs

Suddenly the headache and brain heat, opened the medicine box and turned out a pack of pills that I didn't know when it would be purchased. It had been eaten a little, so can the rest of these still eat it? Judging whether the medicine is still valid, the validity period marked by the pills alone is actually not reliable. In other words, even if the drug is in the shelf life, it may not be used with confidence.

The validity period of the medicine is not equal to the shelf life. The validity period of the pharmaceutical outer packaging refers to the validity period of the pharmaceutical drugs and stored in accordance with the prescribed conditions. When the drug is opened or stored properly, the validity period of the drug will be significantly shortened. At this time, it cannot be determined whether the drug can be used according to the validity period on the outer packaging. For example, after the tide is absorbed, color change, adhesion, soft cracking, or even mildew will not only reduce the efficacy, but it is also likely that harmful degradation objects will cause physical damage. Therefore, whether it is a medicine purchased from a hospital or a pharmacy, the necessary inspections should be performed before purchasing. During the use period, it should be stored in strict accordance with the storage conditions recommended by the drug instructions.

Although the comprehensive inspection of the quality of drugs can only be performed in the drug inspection department, we can effectively identify deterioration drugs in daily life through some exterior examination tips.

■ Tablet medicine (excluding sugar or thin -film coats), its weight should be uniform, without spots on the surface, fragmented, non -uplifting, no adhesion, no cracks. All kinds of pills should not be color, such as painful tablets and vitamin C turn yellow; aspirin has pungent acetic acid odor or fine needle crystals.

■ Capsules (glue pills) The hard container of the powder should not be adhesive and no crushing; the soft capsule is multi -oily or other liquid medicine, and there should be no rupture of leakage, no adhesion, and no mixed odor. Such as vitamin A pills, vitamin E pills, etc., such as smelling different odor or turbidity in pills are deteriorated.

■ Granules (granitors) and bulk agents should be dry and loose, and the particles should be uniform, and there should be no moisture. There is no different odor, color points, insects, and mold. The solution and syrup should be clarified and transparent, and there should be no turbidity, precipitation, layering, evaporation and strange odor, without flocculent objects, no discoloration. Such medicines are vulnerable to bacterial pollution, such as flocculent matter, turbidity, fermentation, and odor.

■ Small needles of the injection aquatic solution, first check whether the label is clear, whether there are cracks in the medicine bottle, the sealing of the seal, the sediment, turbidity, foreign body or crystalline precipitation, and whether there are color changes. In addition to the inspection of the large bottle of glucose injection, in addition to check whether the bottle blocked lid is tightly not loose, the flip check should not be leaked or leaky. For powder pins, note that it should be dry and loose powder or crystalline powder, mostly white, should be colorless, foreign body, sticky bottle, block, desquamation, weathering and discoloration.

■ Independent packaging medicines can be judged according to the shelf life. Such as plate capsules, plates, pockets, and particles, these medicines are generally packaged in independent packaging, and they will not contact the outside air. Under the prescribed storage conditions, you can use it safely before the validity period is valid. ; For non -independent packaging medicines, such as bottled pills, it is generally recommended to run out within half a year after Kaifeng.
