Contact your pharmacist immediately. They can assess the medication’s condition based on factors like the storage temperature and the drug’s formulation.
Describe the situation clearly: state that you left the amoxicillin out overnight, specifying the duration and the ambient temperature. Provide the medication’s name and dosage.
Your pharmacist will determine whether the amoxicillin is still safe to use. They might advise you to discard the medication or, possibly, provide guidance on proper storage if it remains safe.
Follow their instructions precisely. If they recommend discarding the medication, dispose of it responsibly according to local guidelines – often by mixing it with kitty litter and placing it in a sealed container. Do not flush it down the toilet.
If you experience any unusual symptoms after taking the amoxicillin, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. This might include allergic reactions like skin rash or digestive issues like nausea or vomiting.
Remember: A pharmacist’s advice is tailored to your specific situation. Never rely on online information alone when handling medications.
Obtaining a replacement prescription might be necessary if the pharmacist deems the medication unusable. Your physician can facilitate this.
