1. **Refrigeration**: Most reconstituted antibiotics need to be kept in the refrigerator and are typically good for about 7-14 days. Always check the specific instructions on the label or packaging.
2. **Room Temperature**: Some medications can be stored at room temperature but usually for a shorter period, around 5-7 days. Again, refer to the label for exact details.
3. **Expiration Date**: Never use the medication past its expiration date, and discard any remaining medicine after the recommended period.
4. **Consult Pharmacist**: If in doubt, consult the pharmacist who dispensed the medication for precise information on storage and shelf life.
Always follow the storage instructions provided with the medication to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
