Comparative Study of Expired and Non-expired Medicine

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of expired and non-expired medications. The study included 100 animals who were separated into two groups: Group A (non-expired drugs) and Group B (expired medicines). For one month, both groups received the same drug. The medication's effectiveness was determined by assessing the improvement in symptoms, and its safety was determined by monitoring any adverse effects. The study finding revealed that both expired and non-expired medications were beneficial in alleviating symptoms, with no significant difference between the two groups. However, Group B had a somewhat greater rate of adverse events than Group A. The most prevalent adverse events recorded in Group B were gastrointestinal disturbances; while in Group A, it was moderate headache. To summarise, this study reveals that expired drugs can be beneficial in treating certain illness, but they should be used with caution due to the possibility of unpleasant consequences. Patients and healthcare providers must appropriately dispose of outdated prescriptions and not use them as a substitute for new medications. More research is needed to determine the long-term implications of utilizing expired medications.
