Absolutely this medicine is ok to take. It is only bad if after a few years and it has been sitting and unused. Not only is it ok to take it should work for what ever infection you may have that you need to get better with. I take expired meds all the time

The amoxicillin is most likely okay, however it might not have it's desired effect as chemicals deteroiate over time. You should try to check with a pharmacist.

You should never take any medication that is now expired. There are reasons for expiration dates. The effectiveness of the perscription may not work properly or you could become ill.

If it is pill form it is still ok to take but may have lost some of its potency. If its liquid form it would be best to discard it.
