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.
