Hi shonta,

Based on my research certain drugs are actually okay to take many years after their expiration date, whereas others such as, specific types of antibiotics (namely tetracycline) can become toxic.

Normally I'd still consider taking something like that if it's only been two months old, but because it's an antibiotic (and I don't know if it can become toxic) I would encourage you to get a new script from your doctor or have it lab tested for quality, before relying on it for a serious infection.

I hope this advice helps!
