How Long Is Liquid Amoxicillin Good For

Hi My daughter has 2 bottle of amoxicillin in the refrigerator. Never used but already mixed. The pink one. The expiration date in the bottle says January 2018. Will it still be good to use? The actual date mixed was July 18 2016

Does anyone else have thoughts on this?
