Which liquid oral antibiotic should be refrigerated after reconstitution?

  1. Cefdinir

  2. Amox/clav

  3. Azithromycin

  4. Nystatin

The correct answer is: Amox/clav

Amoxicillin/clavulanate (Amox/clav) is the correct answer. It is a liquid oral antibiotic that should be refrigerated after reconstitution to maintain its stability and effectiveness. Refrigeration helps prevent degradation of the medication and growth of bacteria in the suspension. Options A, C, and D do not require refrigeration after reconstitution. Cefdinir, azithromycin, and nystatin are stable at room temperature after reconstitution.
