Liquid form of amoxicillin needs to be refrigerated because it contains augmentin and it is very unstable to heat. In heat the amoxicillin medicine can deteriorate quickly making it less efficient to kill the bacteria. You may store liquid amoxicillin medicine in a fridge but do not concede up to the freezing state. Discard unused liquid amoxicillin medicine within 14 days as it might have lost its activity, color and taste. 
Isopropyl alcohol is the best compound, to use on computers, laptops or any other electronic devices.
