As long as it is stored correctly, I would expect it to be good for at least a decade. The "use by" dates are fairly arbitrary dates where the drug company guarantees the potency and safety. Tetracycline and liquid antibiotics are an exception. If it is a critical or life-and-death thing, it might matter (like with sublingual nitroglycerine tablets for chest pain). But a slight decrease in potency for most drugs should not matter much. If you are using old stock of antibiotics and do not get some results in a few days, then maybe it is time for the fresh batch. It is mostly up to your own level of concern, but mainly, it won't hurt you to take it well past the expiration date.
