Never advisable: It is never advisable to Take medication after their expiration date has passed. Active metabolites bay be diminished and the drug may not be as effective. You can build resistance because of this

No: Drugs past the expiration work may have lost stability and therefore are often less effective. I would not advise you to take any medication past its expiration date.
