Some medications, like liquid amoxicillin,don'tneed to be refrigerated, but taste better ifyourefrigerate them. Others, like liquid azithromycinforbacterial infections, should not be refrigerated becauseitcan get too thick and your child likely won't want totakeit.
Besides, how long does amoxicillin last out the fridge?
The liquid formula should be refrigerated.Ifamoxicillin/clavulanate is left out oftherefrigerator overnight it should still be good; if longerthendiscard. The liquid version should be discarded after10days.
Furthermore, do antibiotics go bad if not refrigerated?
Not all liquid antibiotics need tobestored in the refrigerator. Refrigerating certainliquidantibiotics will actually break down some medication,makingthem ineffective. The opposite is true for certain otherliquidantibiotics: They must bekeptrefrigerated.
Keep this medication in the container it came in,tightlyclosed, and out of reach of children. Store thecapsules andtablets at room temperature and away from excess heatand moisture(not in the bathroom). The liquid medicationpreferablyshould be kept in the refrigerator, but it may be storedat roomtemperature.
