Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it is dangerous to use expired medicines and I strictly advise not to use them. These are chemicals and one can never predict what reaction they might cause if expired. You might end up spending more money in case you suffer from a reaction. Please be sure not to use them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
