Perhaps.: Depends on how far away the expiration day is and there has been no report showing that expired Claritin (loratadine) products causing adverse health effects. And yes, you can take 2 if one does not work in general, it is preferable to use a product before the expiration date especially on products which are critical to one's health (epinephrine, insulin, antibiotic etc).

It is OK: The origional dose studies were up to 40mg/day. The most cost effective dose for adults was the 10mg. The medication like this does not suddenly go bad like out dated milk so you are probably ending up with more than 10mg anyway.
