Always refrigerate amoxicillin after opening. Keep it between 36°F and 46°F (2°C and 8°C). This temperature range ensures the medication’s potency remains stable.
Store the medication in its original container. This protects it from light and moisture, both of which can degrade the medicine. Avoid transferring it to another container.
Check the expiration date printed on the label. Discard the medication after the expiration date, even if it appears to be in good condition.
Keep amoxicillin out of reach of children and pets. Accidental ingestion can be dangerous. Proper storage prevents this risk.
| Refrigerator | Ideal; ensures optimal temperature range. |
| Medicine Cabinet (room temperature) | Not recommended; can reduce shelf life. |
| Direct Sunlight | Strictly avoid; degrades the medicine quickly. |
| Freezer | Not recommended; freezing can damage the medication. |
Discard any unused amoxicillin after the prescribed treatment course concludes. Do not save it for future use. Consult your pharmacist for proper disposal methods.
