For what reason are reconstitutable drugs kept in a powder form?

When in liquid form they must be refrigerated, and pharmacies don’t have enough refrigerator space to store the medication.
The shelf life of these medications is very short when in liquid form.
The medication becomes toxic when exposed to water for long periods of time.
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: B - Reconstitutable drugs are kept in powder form because their average shelf life when combined with water is generally 10 to 14 days. After this period of time, the medication loses its potency and must be discarded.
