Can I Still Use Opened Xopenex & Pulmicort past 2 Wks?

I have a package of opened Xopenex & Pulmicort. Its been in the foil package stored in the cabinet. They are still clear color. I opened it in August. I know it says discard after 2 wks but I hate to throw it away with all these vials left & I need to use some today. Anyone know why they need to be used so quickly & can I still use it? Any risks when its over the 2 wks??
