Check the bottle! The expiration date, clearly printed on the label, is your ultimate guide. Discard any amoxicillin past this date.
Storing your medication correctly extends its lifespan. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or moisture. A temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C) is ideal. Proper storage significantly reduces the risk of degradation.
Notice any changes? Discoloration, unusual odor, or altered texture signal potential spoilage. Don’t risk taking expired or visibly damaged medication; throw it away immediately. Consult your pharmacist for safe disposal instructions.
Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration. Taking expired amoxicillin may not be effective and could potentially harm your health. Never adjust the dosage without consulting your healthcare provider.
Remember: Your health is paramount. Using expired amoxicillin carries risks. If you have questions about your prescription, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
