Inspect the pills carefully. Look for any discoloration. Teva 3109 tablets should maintain a consistent color. Significant changes, such as darkening, fading, or spotting, indicate potential degradation.
Changes in Physical Appearance
Check the tablet’s texture. Cracking, crumbling, or a change in hardness suggests deterioration. The tablets should retain their original shape and firmness. Any significant alteration is a red flag.
Smell the medication. A musty, unusual, or strong odor signifies spoilage. Teva 3109 should have a mild, characteristic scent, or none at all. A pungent smell signals decomposition.
Examine the packaging. Check for damage to the blister pack or bottle. Tears, punctures, or significant wear indicate potential compromise of the medication’s integrity. Also, inspect the expiration date printed on the packaging. Discard the medication if it’s past the expiration date.
When to Discard
If you observe any of these changes, discard the medication immediately. Do not use expired or visibly damaged Teva 3109. Contact your pharmacist or doctor if you have questions about proper disposal.
