As a matter of principle one should read the name of the medicine and date of expiry of the medicine (every day , even though you might have been taking it for many years).
However in the case of tablets (not syrup or injections) it is not a disaster if you have taken one tablet of the medicine whose expiry was one month earlier (but it shouldn't be a routine).
