Hello, JoJo! How are you?

No, it's not good to take antibiotics, once they've expired, the loss of potency creates the risk of developing drug resistant bacteria. It would be best to get a new prescription.

Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
