Which liquid oral antibiotic should NOT be refrigerated?

  1. Ampicillin

  2. Cephalexin

  3. Cefdinir

  4. Penicillin VK

The correct answer is: Cefdinir

Cefdinir should not be refrigerated because refrigeration can cause the medication to change its chemical composition and lose its effectiveness. It is important to store Cefdinir at room temperature according to the manufacturer's instructions. On the other hand, the other options such as Ampicillin, Cephalexin, and Penicillin VK can be refrigerated if desired, but it is not necessary as they can also be stored at room temperature.
