Hello, Linda! How are you?

No, medications do lose efficacy with time and most only have a one year shelf-life, once the original factory sealed container is opened. It would be best to dispose of it and purchase a new supply.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
