Hello, KT! How are you?

No, it does not become dangerous, once expired, however, it does start to lose effectiveness, so it would be best to dispose of it. Taking it causes the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
