The expiration date on medications is important because it signifies the point at which the manufacturer can no longer guarantee the effectiveness and safety of the product. Using expired medications can be risky as the potency may have decreased, leading to potential health risks. It is recommended to not use expired medications and to properly dispose of them by returning them to a pharmacy instead of throwing them in the trash, toilets, or sink.
