DO YOU CHECK THE BACK OF MEDICINES STRIPS FOR KNOWING THE DETAILS :

It’s surprising how often patients buy medicines without even glancing at the back of the strip and without paying attention to which company has manufactured it. This casual approach may seem harmless, but such ignorance can have serious consequences. Your medicine is only as safe and effective as its quality and authenticity. Being informed about what you consume isn’t optional it’s essential for your well-being.

Therefore ,before consuming any medicine, it’s essential to do a basic safety check just like checking the expiry date on food. Take a moment to look at the back of the strip or packaging for the following details:

A)Medicine Name and Strength :To ensure you’re taking the correct drug and dosage.
B)Expiry Date : Never consume expired medicine; it can lose potency or cause harm.
C)Batch Number :Important in case of any quality recall or adverse event.

D) Manufacturing and MRP :Helps you verify freshness and fair pricing.

The manufacturer’s name matters because reputed pharmaceutical companies follow stringent quality control, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and regulatory standards. This ensures that what you’re taking is safe, effective, and consistent.

Medicines from lesser-known or unregulated companies may vary in quality, bioavailability, and safety, even if the ingredients look the same on paper.
