Storage and Disposal of Amoxicillin

Store amoxicillin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ideally, keep it between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C).

Proper Storage for Optimal Effectiveness

    Always check the expiration date on the label. Discard the medication after it expires. Keep amoxicillin in its original container to protect it from moisture and light. Never transfer amoxicillin to another container. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets.

Safe Disposal Methods

Never flush amoxicillin down the toilet or drain.

Steps for Safe Disposal:

Mix the amoxicillin with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. Seal the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Discard the bag in your household trash. Check with your local pharmacy or waste disposal service for specific guidelines in your area.

Additional Tips

    Contact your veterinarian if you have any questions about storing or disposing of your pet’s medication. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and administration.
