If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
Storing Amoxicillin
Proper storage ensures your medication remains effective. Follow these guidelines:
- Keep amoxicillin at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze amoxicillin. Check the expiration date on the label. Discard any medication past its expiration date. Store amoxicillin out of reach of children and pets.
Disposing of Amoxicillin
Dispose of unused amoxicillin properly. Do not flush it down the toilet or pour it down the drain. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal agency for guidance on safe disposal practices.
Specific Storage Information
Always refer to the patient information leaflet that comes with your prescription for specific storage recommendations concerning your particular amoxicillin product (suspension, capsule, etc.). Variations exist in packaging and thus storage requirements.
Liquid amoxicillin may require refrigeration after opening. Check your label for instructions. Capsules or tablets typically have specific instructions on the packaging.
