Looks as though reconstituted it should be stored at room temperature (5C-30C) and discarded after 10 days

Yes it will keep for 4 more days.
Strictly speaking you should keep it cool but ideally not in the fridge.

Wait is it no good after 10 days!? :shock:
Yes, it can't be used after 10 days. One thing I did was carefully, as if I was a scientist- divide the bottle of powder into two equal parts of powder. Then reconstitute 1/2 at a time to make it last longer.
Its worth using it though, my rabbit had the worst respiratory infection with white snot and Baytril did not work, and Azithromycin/zithromax totally cured him.

Yep,
Jack's Jane is correct.
When my bunny was on Zithromax for a long period, it got expensive to keep throwing out the meds when 2/3 were left in the bottle.
If you need it long term, you may be able to find a pharmacy to compound it in an almond oil base using special equipment so it would have a longer shelf life.
