A member asked:
Why do chloramphenicol eye drops need to be stored in the refrigerator while ear drops can be stored at room temperature?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drop storage: Both can be stored at room temperature without any issue. These recommendations are based on what was studied by the company producing the drops and they have to be overly cautious on recommendations due to fda issues.
