Is Expired Medicine Safe?
Expired medicine. What to do?
You’ve kept a pack of paracetamol very well, but fortunately, you’ve never had cause to use it. It is now midnight and you are woken from sleep with a nagging headache; you reach for the pack of paracetamol, but something tells you to look at the expiry date. No! It expired a month ago! Luckily, the pack is still in the same state as when you bought it. What do you do?
