About LinkBacksLooking at Amoxicillin Sugar Free Oral Suspension it says in the patient section, store below 25C.
Should this not be kept in the fridge?
Experience of patients idea of room temperature leads me to believe that it should be.

That's excellent news, however the thread relates to storage of amoxicillin oral suspension after reconstitution.

On the labels it says "to store in a fridge". So my assumption would be best to store in fridge but can be kept out in a cool, dry place.

Sounds about right...was probably errantly prescribed for a viral infection anyway, or five days too late to have any significant anti-bacterial effect. Storage temperature therefore doesn't really make that much difference.
Always been sceptical regarding correct prescribing of oral broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Fleeg the uninfected.
