Hi Jiffy,
According to two different articles - one from Harvard University and the other from LA Times, many medications remain good for up to 10-40 years past the listed expiration date, depending on the substance and how it's stored...I don't have a complete list of these exact medications, nor do I encourage taking something that's been expired for quite some time - but seeing as your medication is less than two months old, my opinion is that it should have most if not all of its efficacy still intact.
Ref: 1) health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/drug-expiration-dates-do-they-mean-anything
2) articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/08/news/la-heb-expired-drugs-still-work-study-20121008
Hope this info helps!
