No. These drugs have to be stored properly and they have a relatively limited shelf life. Some people who are concerned might want to check with their provider to see if they should avoid a particular medication.

We still need to remember to practice good hygiene measures such as frequent hand-washing, proper cough hygiene, and staying home from work/school when ill.

What I've discovered over the years, though, is that one of the best ways to learn and accumulate knowledge and eventually become an expert is to write a FAQ. And, since I'm an inverterate reader, I know quite a bit more than one might think.
