.

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,

Penicillin is not found in "magic mushrooms". It's from a particular type of mold (which is a fungus, but not a mushroom).

Can you take Vicodin when allergic to penicillin?

I am allergic to morphine as well. I can take Vicodin, Lortab, Norco etc, but at higher doses (10mg or above) I do sometimes get very slight hives on my face, but not like with morphine. Anything 10mg and below and I've had no problem. That is just my experience. That being said, I cannot take oxycodone, Percocet or any of it's derivatives as it causes MAJOR hives, itching, burning sensation, and respiratory distress. Hope this helps.
