Store Augmentin tablets at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect from moisture and light. Keep the medication in its original container.
Proper Disposal
Discard any unused Augmentin after its expiration date. Never flush medication down the toilet. Follow these steps for safe disposal:
- Mix the tablets with an undesirable substance, like used coffee grounds or kitty litter. Seal the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Place the bag in your household trash.
Medication Take-Back Programs
Alternatively, you can participate in a local medication take-back program. Check with your pharmacist or local health department to find a convenient location near you. These programs provide a safe and responsible way to dispose of unwanted medications.
Storage Considerations for Children
Keep Augmentin out of reach of children and pets. Use a child-resistant container if available. Improper storage can lead to accidental ingestion, causing potential harm.
