Once opened, the shelf life shortens. While there’s no universally agreed upon timeframe, it’s best to use the medication within a few months of opening the bottle. Observe the medication for any changes in appearance, such as discoloration or unusual odor. Discard if you notice any.
Always consult your pharmacist or doctor if you have concerns about the medication’s shelf life or if you’ve experienced any issues. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.
Proper storage significantly impacts Azithromycin’s efficacy. Keep the bottle tightly closed to prevent moisture from degrading the tablets.
