The only thing which would probably happen to you after taking an expired aspirin is that whatever pain you took it for will not go away. It will not be extra strength anymore. Drug manufacturers are required to place expiration dates on their products to indicate the number of days they can guarantee 100% potency of the drug. This means that taking an expired one will probably have less potency than an unexpired one although there are other drugs that may be toxic to take after their expiration date.
Don't worry much about it that expired aspirin. Just don't make it a habit of taking expired drugs since it quite defeats the purpose of placing an expiration date if it is not followed, right?
