Usually drugs are effective for about 5 years after production.
It should be safe for your to take after the expiration date, as long as it hasn't been 5 years or more.

It also depends on the manufacturer. If the covering is really hard to remove and leave excess stickiness don’t use them. If they are clear and come off normally should be fine, but with time will give less of a dose per hour.
