Hello, Ang673! How are you?

They don't become dangerous, once expired, but they do begin to lose effectiveness, so they may not properly eradicate an infection, that coupled with the fact that you may not have enough to complete a full course of treatment creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription.

Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-alelrgic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

No and thank u for replying...i did have enough, it was a full script and I did end up taking them because I needed something at the moment for my infection. It helped infection is gone and hasn't yet come back but I thank u for getting back with me on this.
