I have a prescription of prednisone that is not quite 2 years expired. i understand it may not work as well as if it were in the expiry date, but will it harm me if i take it? thanks much?

Will recommend caution in the decision of taking it, have your previous prescriber involved early. Otherwise the drug will likely still work even if recently expired, in case a longer course or slower taper needed you will still have to call your doc.
