Lesson Overview

6.37 – Monitoring Medication Expiration Dates: Expiration dates protect you from weakened or unsafe medicine, so treat them seriously. Mark upcoming expirations on calendars at least two months in advance. Dispose of outdated drugs properly through pharmacy drop boxes or community events. Never flush medications unless specifically instructed by official guidance. Taking expired pills may reduce effectiveness or cause unpredictable reactions. Rotate stock during weekly pill-box setups to ensure freshness. Keep oldest supplies visible and use them first under approval. Recording dates in a digital log prevents accidental oversight. A consistent review routine adds safety without stress. Responsible monitoring shows discipline, reliability, and respect for your health investments. Fresh medicine equals predictable results, the cornerstone of dependable care.
