Is it still safe to use amoxicillin if it was left out of the refrigerator for 12 hours and then it was put it back in the refrigerator?

.

Answer

Amoxicillin does not have to be refrigerated, but refrigeration improves the taste. Leaving it out on the counter for a day makes no difference. However, if your bottle says "amoxicillin/clavulanate" which is the generic name for Augmentin, it is extremely important that you refrigerate. Take a look at your bottle - if you have amoxicillin/clavulanate or augmentin, you'll need to call the doctor to get a new script.

In general, most medications that have been left out of refrigeration will be fine to use if kept cold again within 24 hours; this assumes it was kept at room temperature and not near a heat source,

If currently taking Amoxicillin for a double ear infection my kids all have the flu real bad will the amoxicillin help prevent me from catching the flu?

No antibiotics are effective for bacterial infections.. flu is a virus...hope you all feel better. You may have already had the flu and not really had it that bad or were the carrier of the virus as usually ear infections are derived from a viral infection such as the flu and generally follows it. I am sure you know if you have children in pre school or school you are certain to catch the viruses that they do. Children seem to not get as sick from flues as adults do and thus, you have an ear infection and that's why you are on antibiotics. THINGS TO DO FOR THE FLU: * Rest * Eat light meals * Drink lots of water and mild juices (nothing acidic.) * Talk to your pharmacist and they can recommend different flu medications that will ease some of the aching, fevers, etc., but be sure to tell your pharmacist if your children or yourself are on any other medications because other over the counter medications can cause problems with the medications you are on. * If you feel your children or yourself have a heavy chest, coughing up phlegm, hard to breath then it's time to see your doctor as sometimes flues can turn into Bronchitis or Pneumonia.
