What Does Chkby 27 06 16 Mean On My Antibiotics Packet

Updated

Hi I have white spots in my tonsils and my throat feels cut up. I know it's tonsillitis that I have and therefore was going to ring doctors to get a prescription but my mum have me a full packet of Amoxicillin. I can't see an expiry date on packet but it does say on pharmacy sticker "ChkBy 27/06/16". Do you know what this stands for please? And should they still be ok to take??

"Check by" that date (Chkby) 06/27/2016. Take to pharmacy. Never good to use old antibiotics and self diagnose. A quick swab of the throat gives an answer and allows you to get the right med by a doctor. Could be a virus.

All that means if it's an old bottle of Amoxicilin that if it wasn't taken by the chk by/expiring date back this past June obviously then u cld still take it. They just give expiration dates because some meds MAY-NOT ALL, can loose potency. It's your body. If u can get a rapid swab to be sure, I'd recommend it that way u will have another brand new Rx w enough in it to last. Or idt those meds are expired yet so honestly, your chose. GL n God Bless... Feel better
