Store amoxicillin liquid in the refrigerator between 36°F and 46°F (2°C and 8°C). Discard any unused medication after 14 days, even if some remains.
Always follow the instructions on your prescription label. Never freeze amoxicillin.
Proper disposal is crucial. Do not flush amoxicillin down the toilet or pour it down the drain. Instead:
| Medication Take-Back Programs | Many pharmacies and local health departments offer free medication take-back programs. Check online for locations near you. |
| Household Hazardous Waste Disposal | Contact your local waste management agency for instructions on disposing of unwanted medications. |
| Mixing with an undesirable substance | Mix the amoxicillin with an unappealing substance like used coffee grounds or kitty litter. Seal the mixture in a tightly closed, opaque container before discarding in your household trash. |
Following these steps ensures safe and responsible disposal of your amoxicillin.
