First of all, the deterioration of drugs is a slow process, which is different for different drugs. However, drugs that have passed the shelf life, whether one day or half a year, can not guarantee whether they are invalid or deteriorated. This is because it has exceeded the period of data obtained from the manufacturer's stability test and long-term sample observation test.
