The expiration date on drugs is set for the point at which 90% of the drug remains.

You see, over time, drugs can degrade. (Think about when you let food sit out for a long period of time. It goes bad) It may not hurt you, however, there are some cases where the drug can degrade to a harmful product. It is best not to use expired medicine.

So, it may not hurt you, it may not help you, but it is best not to take the chance.
