I'm such a dope. I left my bottle of amox in the car for a few days.

I have another bottle so that's why I forgot that one bottle was still in the car.

It's kind of been hot here. It was in the glove compartment.

Do you think it will make the amoxicillin not work?

Call the pharmacist to find out for sure. [Smile]

I'm guessing it won't...I had a bottle of it out in the barn for years in 100 degree heat..It was waaaay past expiration date but it still gave me a gray yeasty tongue and seemed to hit a dental infection when I needed it...

Just a few days at "body temperature" (As Long As it was sealed up- away from moisture & sunlight) and it'll be just fine.
A few tenths of a % weaker? Possibly. Not a factor in daily dosing.
