It looks like you accidentally left the Tresaderm ear drops out of the fridge overnight. Here’s some guidance on whether you can still use the medication for your pet's ear condition.
- Check for any changes in color, smell, or consistency of the medication.
- Tresaderm may become less effective if not stored properly.
- Consider getting a new bottle if the medication has been out of the fridge for extended periods.
Typically, Tresaderm ear drops need refrigeration to maintain their effectiveness. When left out at room temperature for a short time, they may still be safe to use, but the medication could be less effective over time. It's always best to check with your vet to ensure the drops are still suitable for your pet's treatment.
