Correct answer: C — Follow the labelled expiry and storage instructions provided after reconstitution
Many antibiotic suspensions have a limited expiry after reconstitution and may require specific storage. The pharmacy label should clearly state the beyond-use date and storage advice. Leftover antibiotics should not be kept for future infections. Correct storage helps maintain potency and safety.
