I would not recommend you to give such medicines to your husband if expiry that is not mentioned. I think it is either expired or close to it so it will not be as effective as a normal medicine should be. Some time there can be side effects also. I would suggest you to give her any medicine out of these.
Paracetamol, VOveron, nimesulide, Brufen
I want to forbid you to give any such medicines for which detail is not available. As you never know if some side effects occurs.
