I have prescribed with lyconex forte tablets. And I forgot to take those tablets and it is expired now. Can I take these even after expiry date? Now I am given pyricontin tablets to take in the morning everyday. So can I take both the tablets (1 in morning and other in night)?

In theory, you can take the date expired tablets as common sense would tell you that immediately on the date of expiry as printed on the cover, the tablet does not turn into poison. Thie date of expiry is only mandatory printing. With the passage of time, there may a chance of the potency being lost but does not make the medicine a poison.
