Is it safe to use antioboctics that have been used but not out of date?

No. If some of them have already been taken, then there isn't a full course of treatment left. If you take a partial course of antibiotics, it may not completely kill the bacteria and that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So, the bacteria will become resistant to that particular antibiotic and you'll need a stronger one to kill it. You should never have leftover antibiotics and you should never take just a partial course.

Most foods that are not-potentially hazardous - including syrup - would be labeled with something similar to a "best by", "best if used by" or "use by" date rather than an expiration date.

Manufacturers will not guarantee the quality of the product beyond that date.

It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.
