    I'd consider how far out of date and whether  and how long the container has been opened.  Personally, I consider most expiration dates to be a cheap marketing scam.  I stay pretty close (a couple of months) on liquid meds that have been opened.  If something is supposed to be kept refrigerated, I don't go very long past exp IF it's been opened, but a couple of months if it's NOT been opened.

    My endocrinologist (diabetes) disagrees with me, (and I stick very close on liquids and refrigerated things. )

    It's not dangerous that simply might be ineffectual
