I wouldn't advise taking it after it has expired, though, I doubt it's dangerous. The main reason there is an expiration date is because after a certain amount of time the medicine loses potency and doesn't work as well as it had originally.

Usually the experation date is exactly one year from the day of the purchase of your meds. It's odd that they dont give you a specific date (example: if you received your meds on June 4th 2008, it should say "good until 6/4/09." You could probably still use them until the end of June. There is a chance they may have lost a bit of their potency, but you should still be okay.
