What is the expiration date of paracetamol Dolo 650?
If you aren’t for sure on the label I’d give it a year from the purchase date. That’s regulatory standards anyway, beyond that it’s up to interpretation. It could be longer, but it’s impossible to know for sure and if it is beyond expiration it risks potency loss. Some medications (though not paracetamol) can even break down into toxic by-products of environmental reactions. For a medication so cheap, just stay on the safe side and keep some within expiration on hand.

Depends on that batch; the pill bottle must legally have the expiration date printed on it, so try there!
If you've lost the original bottle, there is, unfortunately, no way to tell what the expiration date is. If they're less than a few years old they should still be good. And if they are expired- do note that, generally, expired drugs don't become more dangerous, past expiration- it's not like leaving meat out of the fridge too long. Rather, they begin to lose potency- as such, if anything, drugs become less dangerous as they expire and begin to degrade.
If you need more convincing, call a pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist- they should tell you the same thing.
