Keep amoxicillin in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Room temperature is ideal.
Always keep amoxicillin out of children’s reach and sight. A locked cupboard is recommended.
| Controlled room temperature (59-86°F or 15-30°C) | Check the label for expiration date. |
Never flush amoxicillin down the toilet or pour it down the drain. This contaminates water supplies.
Check your local pharmacy or your household waste disposal service for safe medication disposal programs. They often provide containers for safe disposal or instructions for handling expired medications.
Dispose of any unused amoxicillin according to these guidelines as soon as possible after your child’s course of treatment is complete.
