A member asked:
What happens if my child takes amoxicillan that has expired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't help: The liquid med begins to break down as soon as water is added but holds its strength for 10-14 days if refrigerated. After expiration it is basically tasty protein shake, with little if any benefit. The same goes for pill products. After expiration any strength of the product is below standards or may be zero.
