Updated

I accidentally took an expired diclofenac potassium drug, which was expired in 12/2016. It has been 15 minutes since I took it. What are the effects? And what can I do?

This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, according to FDA reports, it just starts to lose efficacy. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

How are you feeling? Have you experienced any issues? Are you on any other medications?

I took diclofenac 50mg yesterday night and when I saw the expiry date it was 2016. So do I face any health problem because of this? I'm worried a lot. Thanks.
