Can Expired Medicine Cause Any Harm During Asthma Attack?

My son had an asthma attack tonight. We went to his asthma doctor and came home to use his nebulizer. When almost done I noticed the medicine says it expired 6/14 is this dangerous? I m freaking out this is all I have until tomorrow and I already used it.
