A member asked:
I was wondering how long liquid cephalexin is good for in the fridge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The general rule is this type of liquid antibiotics retain potency for at least 1 week at air conditioned home temperature and 2 weeks in a refrigerator. Some other types of antibiotics can retain potency longer in either setting.
