What happens if you give a dog expired amoxicillin?
Hopefully, nothing. Unfortunately, after the drug is expired, the antibiotic and the inert carrier chemicals it is mixed into start to degrade. This degradation is unpredictable in the field and could do anything from rendering the antibiotic inert (ie, no longer an effective drug) to turning the antibiotic or one or more of the other chemicals into a potent toxin that could severely injure or kill the dog.
Will it harm you if you take amoxicillin after its expiration date?
It could have a nasty rebound effect. First of all, why do you have any amoxicillin? If it is left over from a previous prescription, it would indicate that you failed to complete the course of the antibiotic the first time, not a good idea. Second, the effectiveness of the amoxicillin may be compromised. It may 'sort of' work until you run out, and then allow the infection to return stronger and more capable of fighting the antibiotic. It won't do any harm in itself, but it could be weak or ineffective depending on how far past the date it is. If you take a full round of it and it is weakened, the bacteria you are trying to fight may become resistant. It is usually better just to go to the doctor and get a fresh round.
