Expired medical products can be less effective or risky due to a change in chemical composition or a decrease in strength. So, in your case that medicine would not work.

Expired medicine is not hazardous.
It just means it's efficacy will be less after that date.
No need to worry about it.
Just avoid taking it now as its less efficacious
