Sandy,
Thanks for your question.
Strictly speaking, a health care provider cannot recommend that a patient take a prescription drug that has passed its expiration date. I can tell you that once the expiration date has passed, prescription medication can degrade, usually slowly, over time. This can lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the medication. Two months is a short time and any degradation is likely to be minimal.
I suggest you contact your physician and ask if it OK to take this medication.
