Ano po ba pwede gawin/lunas kapag naka inom ng expired na gamot (Salbutamol)?


Hindi din po talaga ako sigurado na expired na yung gamot, nag iba po kasi pakiramdam ko ngayon . Yun lang naman po nainom ko


Translate: What is the treatment or cure if I have taken expired medicine/drugs? (Salbutamol) I am not sure if the medicine has expired, I just feel different/not well.

Hello,

Medical authorities uniformly say it is safe to take drugs past their expiration date -- no matter how "expired" the drugs presumably are. Except for possibly the rarest of exceptions, you won't get hurt and the drug certainly won't turn into a poison.

Sabi mo hindi ka sigurado kung "expired" nga ba ang gamot na nainom mo pero nagiba ang pakiramdam mo. Ano ba ang mga naramdaman mong pagbabago matapos mong inumin ang gamot? Posible rin naman na ang masamang pakiramdam ay hindi sahi ng paginom mo ng "expired" na gamot. makabubuti na kumonsulta agad sa doctor para malaman ang sanhi ng mga nararanasan mong sintomas.
