In the medicine strips (having almost 10 tablets) the companies print the manufactured date and expiry date only once or twice. But in most of the cases people don't buy the whole strip, rather they buy less than 10 as per their need or pescribed by the physician. The part of the strip they buy may or mayn't contain the expiry date. Even if they ask the druggist regarding the expiry date, it might happen that the patient mightn't consume all tablets and will keep it for future. During that period he/she might forget the expiry date mention by the druggist and if taken may cause sever consequencies. This is very critical in india where most people live on medicines. Therefore request the health ministry to mandate printing of the expiry date over each tablets on the strip.
