In the usa, you can’t just throw your meds in the garbage You have to properly dispose of them at a medical facility 😅
Comment from : Lynne Lee

I think it is still safe like Panadol, cough syrup etc meds for common sicknesses like fever, flu, sore throat Meds for chronic diseases sure won't expire because one will finish them before they expire
Comment from : m&m

Hey Talking point, How about doing an episode about toxicity of pans and woks on market Cast Iron vs Carbon Steel vs Stainless Steel vs aluminium vs Teflon non stick pans vs ceramic vs marble vs Nano Silver compound pans
Comment from : Viking

Steve deserves a salary raise from CNA 😄
Comment from : rshufiyati

Great informative documentary! However, I noticed that when Steve speaks, there are no subtitles, but there are subtitles when some guests speak
Comment from : eningproduction

Western medicine has gone on the wrong path led by pharmaceutical industry whose primary objective is to sell long term palliative to support its profitability brbrI now turn to Chinese medicine which treat causes intead of symptoms Cheers
Comment from : Galaxymetta

Prescribed med is not like OTC med, so shelf life is different, an most OTC med is only stored at room temperature
Comment from : Rambling Rob

This is BS, go to places in Africa maybe, or if your poor not going to throw away unused items just because of a date, I used to work in Pharmacy warehouse an there were bins of med 50 still OK unused just disposed of because of date An of course it's a billion dollar industry so they want you to throw away
Comment from : Rambling Rob

I tried a 2 yr old expired Viagra still works
Comment from : Anakin Skywalker

The bro in the show kept the medications right above the stoves!!brSurely there are better places in the home to store it
Comment from : Simon Y

check the expiry on the foil, not the label printed by clinic as the latter is usually not accurate
Comment from : MY

after taking expired medicine,you will also expire earlier
Comment from : eugene Teo

Medicine in tablet forms are now in blister packs As long as they are stored in cool, dark places as well as there are no puncture holes, they are generally saved to be consumed even they have passed the expiry dates Liquid medicine better be kept in the fridge Antibiotics on the other hand once expired better to be discharged Also once started a course of antibiotics, the entire course had to be consumed Many people often never complete the course and often save the remaining antibiotic medicine Because of not completing the course, the surviving germs may become stronger and the remaining antibiotics may no longer effective Eye drops should be discharged once they are expired as it become contaminated with germs that can be harmful to eyes
Comment from : MrLantean

I have eaten expired meds, and vitamins can confirm still alive
Comment from : Dee B

Comment from : Andy Toh-Toh

Aiyoh You don't 'eat' medicine You take
Comment from : TK T

Only one way to find out I’m going on a 2 week meditation diet 😅
Comment from : Joshua

Brainwashed by big pharma, you rely on chemicals with side effects rather than a healthy diet and lifestyle
Comment from : David Lee

Not very good at pronunciations, this Lita ChewbrEk-strah-poh-layt, she says JesusbrAlso preh-sur-vay-teevs, she says Come on, MOE, you can do better than that
Comment from : l156a21

Are supplements the same?
Comment from : Soon Yew Liow

Expired meds could be taken without any problems It's just a slight decrease in potency or effectiveness Pharm company is about profits,u know what I mean?
Comment from : Remy martin

21:19brIf you have exp'd meds FKIN RETURN THEM for safe disposalbrLandfilling contaminates the soil 🤦‍♀️
Comment from : Hala Li

Expired medicine is safe, as long as it's sealed and not open, but the effects of medicine that's expired is not that 100 percent effective, compared to a medicine that's not expired brBut for me I suggest not to take expired medicine because it's not that 100 percent safe, it's unsure, 50/50 safe or not safebrYou can take a medicine that expired maybe at least weeks ago, 1 month ago or 2 months ago You need to still check it in the Laboratory if the medicine is still safe to eat, take or drink There some expired medicine that will change by its texture, color, taste and etc that can also affects serious illness or diseases It's better not to take a medicine that is expired Well it's up to you :)
Comment from : Secret ♥️

Don't think you should be saying OMG
Comment from : Distilled Movies

Very helpful information 👍
Comment from : Frugal Over Fifty

Yep they sure are especially in a soft situation I recently had the symptoms of strep throat, a condition i had several times as child I struggled to do all the OTC things for 4 days and go progressively worse The weekend started the next day and I would not be able to get an apt t So I looked up what I was prescribed back in 2014 when I last had it and immediately started the clyndamycin After the second dose the symptoms started to subside and on Monday i got my Teledoc aptmt and was prescribed clyndamycin So it worked and it helped
Comment from : A Pippin

SHOULD I *TAKE EXPIRED MEDS?brWe do not use the word eat when it comes to medicine
Comment from : absolon55

I have a huge 7 year old eye drops Still use it
Comment from : Shin Bi

Another dangerous topic for Steven to explore Daredevil
Comment from : Sera

I love the topics featured by 'Talking Point' - they are entertaining and eye-opening -- this coming from someone who is not from Singapore who watch every week
Comment from : Dennis Lam

Google "Natural Remedies" first instead of using medicine, whether expired or notbrSome medicines have more than 50 side effects
Comment from : Chee Leong Wong

Medicine is not for "eating"
Comment from : SpeedMaster

Hey Steve you should always bring your old meds to a pharmacy and not place them in the garbage or flush them down the toilet :)
Comment from : DerekLefebvre

This is what am i looking for
Comment from : 1stfiller

So expired date is a way to avoid lawsuitbrFor food, it is usually date when manufacturer guarantee the taste rather than microorganism Think logically, how come a bacteria grows in a nitrogen rich, salt rich environment in addition of preservatives
Comment from : Mr Mul

"EAT"? Should't it be To take instead?
Comment from : EJ Belge

Does weed expire? I've never noticed
Comment from : Mindflayer

Amazing :)
Comment from : jhan gaviola

Talking about expiry, the opposition parties in s'pore have proven themselves to be ineffective and incompetent Their expiry is due
Comment from : Anzia R

Most OTC meds are still good for at least 2 years after the date, After that most meds will become less effective but will still work to a point As for Rx drugs most meds will still be good but less effective but there are some that my not
Comment from : Krisy Virgona - N6KV

Comment from : TJ Sells

Comment from : xiaoxiaojibai

I usually just throw after I am done with it, didn't knew some medicine can still be effective for years This will save me some money in the future, especially for minor illness
Comment from : Chua Koktung

Steven Chia and team legit covering topics I think about a week before the videos come out
Comment from : LianYL

I mean if Zombie apocalypse happens, no one in their right mind would be looking at the expiry date it all boils down to common sense
Comment from : jonyong kkkl

I have been taking a lot of expired medications and it still works like what it’s intended ❤
Comment from : Mirror

Less potency is unlikely to kill you
Comment from : Des Chan

Pharmaceutical companies want u to discard them once it expired for obvious reason
Comment from : Des Chan

This is an old debate But YES Use "expired" meds Even after 10 years they have over 90 potency if not more I once knew an old doctor who kept expired meds and gave them away to poor patients in need
Comment from : Tyrell Corp

Nothing happen, safe to eat Something happen, not safe
Comment from : Des Chan

From this documentary segment, it failed to address the issue that some Singaporeans would travel to neighbouring countries to get prescribed medications which there's risk of buying expired ones
Comment from : Nicholas Huang

Yea and am surprise some does not practice what they preach
Comment from : Caedan Teng

So no sniper bullet from the pharmaceutical industry for doing this report?
Comment from : Awol Peace

Before watching I would like to answer the title:br-It probably depends on the medicine Some medicine will have unstable compounds, that degrade, loading function and becoming more toxic, but others are probably fine and still have an expiration date
Comment from : Ant Man

Chinese 🇨🇳 medicines don't have expiration date Lol
Comment from : Last Chang

Comment from : Chris Lee

It's perfectly fine to take expired meds I ate them, it worked, and I'm still alive
Comment from : Deepsea ASMR

If you are Chinese you should! You eat everything!
Comment from : Woo Woo

Another relevant episode! Bravo
Comment from : Crosby Ong

😂 no why would you take expired medicine 😂 whatttttt
Comment from : Ally & The Arts

eat?? shouldn't it be take?
Comment from : calumsowhat

Thanks CNA for featuring Pharmacy! Many are not familiar with our daily work Besides ensuring safety and efficacy of medications, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians ensure constant continuity of drug supply while providing clinical care to patients with medication optimization plans!brbrThere are tens of thousands of drugs, medical conditions, herbs and food in existence, all of which can have serious interactions so we are essentially walking encyclopedia, checking and advising everyday 😊
Comment from : xmaplegirlzx

Most people keep their medication in Singapore partially because a trip to the public subsidised GP while cheap is still considered expensive to some and the time required to wait and queue is not a luxury some can afford
Comment from : Lucretius

Asian moms seeing this: "see I told you Still ok laa" (whips out zam-buk expired in 1997) 😅
Comment from : Shaza Shaharom

Just an idea about storing medication I use a thermos type of storage for my vitamins and medicine Cutting down on temperature swings Use those coolers that can hold ice and a six pack of soda or cans of beer to store those important supplements for keeping us healthy
Comment from : MJ Pearce

From durian to meds, that took a fast turn
Comment from : Derrick Chua

Thank God, I thought Steve would conduct a 2-week trial on expired drugsbrHe's a Singapore's national treasure, protect him at all costs
Comment from : Huy Vu

Downvoted for incorrect conclusion Medications (the tablet pills type) are generally stable chemicals that do not interact strongly with the environment When stored in the dark and away from sources of heat and unopened, there is no reason why they would break down at a high rate, as his lab tests showed The main downside is that their effectiveness would progressively decrease, but this is usually not a problem Both my doctor and my pharmacist agreed as well, there is no realistic danger
Comment from : John Smith

If you have any questions about what purposes your medications are for, you can refer to these US FDA websites The latter is a legally binding description of detailed background on your medicationsbrbr medlineplusgov/ br dailymednlmnihgov/dailymed/
Comment from : John Smith

Look like the lady at the start not only consume expired medicine but also did not finish her antibiotics course
Comment from : Weewee

It's not okay to use the expired medicine you're life will put into danger of using expired drugs and that is why in the label of every drugs there is indication of expired dates and as well the manufacturing dates
Comment from : ANG BIDA TV

In the next episode Steven chooses a coffin 😂
Comment from : Ariff Suffian

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!brbrsingapore english did it again! brbryou don't EAT medicines, you TAKE it!brbrHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAbr😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment from : Nico Dalete (David + Delete)

For a moment I thought Steven is going to take a 2 week medication trial
Comment from : Lionel Chua

“Healthcare is a need and not a commodity,” said Dr Gomez, to drive home the point that for-profit healthcare systems have failed to support citizens in the fringes of our societybrbrIt is noteworthy to mention what Dr Chee Soon Juan said in his opening remarks, that some Singaporeans have told him, “it is better to die than to fall sick in Singapore” He has taken heed and it seems like he has gone all out to ensure that no sick man goes untreated, no family needs to be financially burdened when their loved ones fall sick and most importantly, everyone in Singapore has access to basic healthcare
