Always wash your hands before handling amoxicillin pills. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Store the medication in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideal storage temperature is below 77°F (25°C).
Protecting Amoxicillin from Damage
Avoid extreme temperatures, such as freezing or excessive heat. Do not store amoxicillin in the bathroom or near sinks. Humidity can degrade the medication. Keep the pills away from children and pets. Discard any pills that show signs of discoloration or unusual odor.
Proper Disposal
Never flush amoxicillin down the toilet. Follow local guidelines for proper disposal of unused medication. Many pharmacies offer drug take-back programs.
