Q: forgot to refrigerate augmentin suspension for 24 hours when we first got it. is it ok to use?

: Unfortunately, that happens a lot due to being distracted with a sick child. However, nothing has been reported from doing that. Technically the Augmentin can lose its potency if left out for a long time and the liquid can separate in the bottle. But 24 hours, nothing much happens.
