Amlodipine Besylate Expired
UpdatedI have a box of amlodipine besylate tabs, but they already expired on 02/2012. Is it still safe to take them? If so, how long are they good for?

I have a bottle of Amlodipine that expired on 1-19-17. Is it still good? The Dr just put me back on them again, but is it ok to use what I have left over first?
Expired medications do not become dangerous, but they can lose efficacy, according to FDA, and NIH reports. Thus, they may not work as well as they did, when they were new, so it is better to see your doctor and obtain a new supply, if needed.
The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
Fred, did your doctor put you back on the same dosage? Why did he put you back on them?
