Do Reconstituted Antibiotics Loose Their Efficacy If Not Stored In Refrigerator For Hours ?
I was not able to refrigerate the reconstitued augmentin syrup for about 5-6 hours. The syrup was yellowish by the time I have to use it again. Does this indicate that the syrup lost its efficacy already?

Hi, at a cool temperature even if outside the refrigerator the medicine wil not lose its efficacy but in warm n humid condition n if ther is definite change in colour it is safer to use a new one
