I agree with Jules, after 2 years I dont think it would be as affective, if affective at all.. You should get a new perscription, or you could call your local pharmacy and ask.
If you have a respiratory infection you are going to need to take a complete prescription of antibiotics to kill all of the bacteria. If you have half a prescription it won’t do you much good. It will dull the symptoms but they will come back. So I suggest you bite the bullet and make a doctors appointment for a new prescription.

Each medication has a expiration date. The compostion in the medication changes after the expiration date so don’t use it.
It is safe. Most medications are good 10-15 years after expiration dates. Exceptions are liquids and nitroglycerine.
