Rohit Mukul, CEO of Zeelab Pharmacy, warns that high humidity and heat during the monsoon can compromise medication quality, leading to discolouration, swelling, or texture changes.
Consumers are advised to inspect tablets for spots or sticking, and syrups for unusual smells or particles, as these are clear indicators of damage caused by improper storage.
Medicines should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat according to specific packaging instructions, and any visibly compromised medication must not be consumed without professional consultation.
