It will be less effective than it was, when it was new.

However, it isn't listed as a medication that gets dangerous past the expiration date, but you should double check that with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain.

This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Are there any other questions or concerns?
