I was going to post a similar reply. However, outside of tetracycline, there have never been reported adverse effects from expired drugs. Furthermore, there were only three cases of expired tetracycline related Fanconi Syndrome and that preparation responsible is no longer made. Of course, if it's old...

Otherwise I agree I'm surprised by the reporting ignoring this because this is a classic board question in internal medicine.
