    Bactracillin G good after power loss?

    I had a open bottle and an unopened bottle in a refrigerator that experienced a power loss. The refrigerator was in the house at 72 degrees and never opened until power was restored after @12 hours. Is it ok to use the opened bottle? The unopened? Thanks
