Many news and stories had came out about this alarming news of some pharmacy establishments selling medicines that are not safe and expired. As a consumer, how safe you are with the medicines you have bought in a pharmacy? As an employed individual working in a pharmacy, as an advice, before you take our the medicines after paying it or before paying it, you have to check the expiration date, the packaging, and check it if it is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Ya i have heard about this cases in which many a times date has been expired till will purchased it in this the mistake is ours only because we don't care of our self or for whom we are purchasing medicines. Ya it is the duty of medicines seller to check and clear up expired material but on other side it is our duty too.

kearkear I always now check all that on my meds or did till
having to come to th s retirement center where the nurses aides do the filling of prescriptions and handing out our pills each meal. whenIw as doing my own I once came out of the store and I checked my meds and was shocked to find I had the meds of a man named Phillip
Jenway.So I hurried back in with the op;end sack of the wrong meds and b umped into a tall hansome old man with a very upset look on his face He looked at me and smiled." Are you patsie Hatley per chance?"I assure him I was and I had his pills.the pharmacists assistant apologized all over the p lace. the poor man had to pau some more money as he had paid for my fewer meds. so I always checked before ever leaving the store.
