Allopathic Medicines

The different forms of allopathic medicine – liquid or solid are based on the drugs’ composition, strength, and how it is supposed to work on a certain ailment. In case of liquid/ syrups, the active part of the medicine is combined with a liquid to make it easier to take and is better absorbed. Meanwhile in case of solid allopathic medicine like a tablet or capsule, the active ingredient is combined with another substance and pressed into a solid shape which could be round or oval.

Every allopathy medicine goes through stability testing and the expiration date of a drug is estimated based on these findings. Under good manufacturing practices as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) typically allopathy medicine has an expiration date that is usually from 12 to 60 months from the time of manufacturing.

No. Once the allopathy medicine has passed its expiration date there is no guarantee that the medicine will be safe and effective as it was before the date of its expiration. So it is highly recommended not to use any medicine that has expired.

In allopathy, all drugs go through several rounds of trials before they are permitted to be produced commercially. All allopathic medicines that are available in a pharmacy or drugstore have been clinically tested and proven to be of no harm to humans prior to administering them to patients.

The basic difference between the two methods of treatment is that allopathy is a modern form of medicine whereas homeopathy is an ancient form of medication. Since allopathy is a a modern form of medicine, people who practice allopathy are legally not allowed to prescribe homeopathic medications to their patients.
