Welcome to XXXXXXX
I understand your concern. However tablets and other dry form of medicines usually have a life of atleast 2-3 months beyond the expiry date.
Do not worry about side effects but its important to know your thyroid level. There might be less absorption from the expired tablet and you may get hypothyroid status.
I would suggest to consult your physician and get thyroid levels checked. Thanks.
