OK, here is my contribution to the exercise set by the OP:
Although there are important exceptions, such as doxycycline, the vast majority of expired medications are perfectly safe.
Although pharmacies in the U.S. never put an expiration date on the label that is more than 12 months after the fill date, a study done by the U.S. Department of Defense showed that most medications are safe after even 10 years of storage.
To somewhat elaborate on this one, they also tell you to never use medication that's not prescribed to you by your doctor. I have used non-doctor antibiotics on many occasions with no trouble.
