How long can erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide topical cream be stored at room temp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not after mixing: Prior to mixing the Erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide together, it can be stored at room temperature; but after mixing, it should be stored in the refrigerator and discarded after 3 months.
