Method of keeping the drug dry

There are five tips for keeping the drug dry:

Pack the bulk medicine into the bottle. All medicines are packed in clean small bottles and the caps are tightly closed. Use light-proof glass bottles or plastic bottles to protect from light. Chinese medicine should not be stored for a long time. The pieces to be preserved should be placed in a plastic bag with a seal, and the air in the bag should be squeezed out and sealed.

Tuen Mun II:

Don't put it together with wet items. The damp air in the bathroom or kitchen will cause the drug to fail early, and the flowers and plants in the house will also make the surrounding air damp, so the drugs must be kept away from these places. Also, don't be too close to the drug like a fish tank or humidifier. Zui can put a little desiccant in the medicine box.

Tuen Mun three:

Remove the cotton from the vial in time. Before the bottle is opened, the cotton is mainly placed to prevent the drug from colliding during transportation. The other is to adsorb the water vapor to keep the drug dry. However, after the medicine bottle is opened, as the medicine bottle is repeatedly opened, the cotton in the medicine bottle will continuously absorb the water vapor in the air to make the medicine damp. Therefore, once the drug is opened, the cotton and desiccant attached to the bottle must be discarded.

Tuen Mun Four:

Liquid medicines and tablets are open. Zui is good to put medicines in different categories. External medicines such as iodine, ointments, aerosols, etc. should be separated from internal medicines. Liquid medicines such as syrup, eye drops, oral liquids, etc. should be separated from tablets and capsules. This will prevent the tablet drug from getting wet and prevent mutual contamination between different drugs.

Tuen Mun Five:

Expired drugs are processed in a timely manner. The surface of expired drugs is more likely to adsorb moisture and mildew. If you don't pay attention, you may be "continuously" with other drugs. Careful observation, such as loose and discolored tablets; sugar coating adhesion or cracking; capsule capsule adhesion, cracking; pill adhesion, mildew or insects; powders heavily absorb moisture, agglomeration, mold; eye drops, Turbid; ointment has odor, discoloration or oil chromatography, etc. should be treated in time.
