Hello, Jim! How are you?

This medication doesn't become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose efficacy, so it may not fully eradicate any relevant infectious bacteria, according to the NIH. Thus, it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
