You should not take ranitidine after the expiry date that is located on the bottle.

If they say that it wouldn't be safe, then go and get another prescription, and throw out those pills.
What is wrong with medicine after it is expired?
There are many things that can go wrong in a medicine, depending upon what type of medicine it is. Primarily, most medicines can degrade, which means the chemicals weaken. The drug is then less effective for the purpose it is needed. For example, if an antibiotic's chemical make-up weakens, it will not fight the infection as it should if the medication was not expired. When someone with an infection takes an expired medication, the bacteria then continue to multiply, unchecked. The person would get sicker even though taking the expired antibiotic. I would just go out and buy a new bottle or obtain a new prescription.

It is legal. It's legal unless the patient not getting his medicine could be fatal. The doctor's most likely doing this because he thinks the bottle was emptied to fast and that the patient could be taking too much or distributing it or whatever.
