99% sure no problem. Medications can lose some effectiveness after certain dates though, but I'm sure they have some leeway (months or years) until they even get to that point. You can always call your pharmacist. Exposing certain medications to air (those that come in foil) is way worse than taking them a few months after they expire for example. Keep a better eye on expiration dates and if a pharmacy tries to give you something you won't use before it expires, ask for something newer if they have it.
