Hello, Tina! How are you?

They have most likely lost some effectiveness by now and you should just dispose of them. You can see your doctor for a new supply, if you still need this medication.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this steroid as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, weight changes and nervousness.

Is there anything else I can help with?
