Correct answer: D — The label should include appropriate storage and expiry after reconstitution

Reconstituted oral antibiotic liquids have storage and expiry requirements that must be communicated. In this vignette, "The label should include appropriate storage and expiry after reconstitution" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
