Dear Mr XXXXXXX

First and foremost let me reassure you there is no cause for concern.
Consuming drugs following expiry date decreases the efficacy of drugs that means the action of drug is decreased. There are no side effects arising from it.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
