Precautions for drug purchase:
1. Go to a pharmacy with a drug business license and ask the pharmacy to issue a bill.

Drugs with incomplete batch number, production date and expiration date cannot be purchased.
Don't blindly follow the advertisement. The Drug Administration Law has made strict regulations on drug advertisements. For example, drug advertisements should include the basic contents such as the name of the enterprise, the product approval number, the precautions for product use, and the advertisement approval number. , and shall not contain absolute terms such as "radical cure", "safety without side effects" and "best curative effect", and shall not contain explicit or implied contents that violate scientific laws and are suitable for all symptoms, and shall not contain contents such as cure rate, efficiency and award-winning, and the publicity contents shall not exceed the approved indications. If you find an absurd drug advertisement, you should be aware that there may be false contents in the advertisement, misleading patients.
