Proper Storage of Amoxicillin to Extend Shelf Life

Keep amoxicillin in a cool, dry place. Ideal temperature is below 77°F (25°C).

Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not freeze amoxicillin. Direct sunlight and excessive heat degrade the medication.

Store amoxicillin in its original container. This protects it from moisture and light.

Tightly close the container after each use. This prevents moisture from entering and affecting the drug’s potency.

Check the expiration date regularly. Discard the medication after it expires.

Pay attention to any discoloration or unusual odor. These indicate potential degradation; discard if noticed.

For liquid amoxicillin, refrigerate after opening and use within 14 days.

Consult your pharmacist or doctor if you have questions about proper storage or if you notice any changes in your medication.
