You definitely don't want to freeze it... If it's already mixed, and it's
been given for 14 days, that might be about the end of its useful
lifespan.
Here's a link to a product info sheet about it from the National Library
of Medicine's Medlineplus database:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a692005.html
Note the storage info: "Keep liquid medicine at room temperature (do not
refrigerate) and away from excess heat and moisture. Throw away any unused
medication after 14 days. Do not freeze."
If that line wraps badly, go to the following address and browse for it
alphabetically or search from:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's great that you thought about
it before assuming it would be OK. Sounds like this med is really
sensitive to temperature since it shouldn't even be put in the fridge.
Best wishes,
