Hi chuck,

There's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication, but according to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date.

I don't know whether or not the drug you have happens to be one of these drugs from the study... (I have not seen the list of drugs used in this study). But I'd imagine that most types of medications would certainly be of interest upon making such claims.

You can read more about it here: health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/update1103a.shtml

I hope this info helps to address any reservations you might've had about the safety of taking something expired.
