That would be a waste. Open it and if the quality has declined, don’t use it. Otherwise, use it.
For almost any food, I treat it as a rough indication of how long it's supposed to be good, but the final call goes to whether it looks/smells/tastes right. The main exception I make is for hyper-perishable stuff like refrigerated and uncured raw meat. (That rarely comes up, I only buy fresh meat right before I plan to use it, same for taking it out of the freezer. If plans change I'll freeze it while it's still good.)
Studies have pretty consistently shown that when common medicines in solid form are stored in favorable conditions (e.g. in a closed bottle in a climate-controlled house, not in a bathroom) they can last for decades without any appreciable degradation. I wouldn't rely on that for heart medicine or something life-critical, but for e.g. cold medicine I see no reason to toss it.

Depends on what it is, if it's a medication ill throw it away. If it's a food product that is easily perishable like milk I'll check it and use as much as I can but I'll throw it away within the week. If it's something with a lot of preservatives like chips, I'll still eat it lol
Check it out first,...look at it,...smell it,...it if looks different,...then throw it out. If it doesnt,...I'd use it.
