Ways to keep drugs dry

There are five tips to keep the medicine dry One is to put the bulk medicine into the bottle All medicines should be packed in clean small bottles, and the caps should be tightly closed If you need to avoid light, use a glass bottle or plastic bottle Traditional Chinese medicine should not be stored for a long time Zui pieces that need to be preserved should be placed in a plastic bag with a seal, and the air in the bag should be squeezed out and the mouth sealed Trick 2: don't put it with damp things The humid air in the bathroom or kitchen will make the medicine invalid early, and the flowers and grass raised at home will also make the air around moist, so the medicine must be far away from these places In addition, fish tanks and humidifiers should not be too close to drugs Zui can put some desiccant in the medicine box Trick 3: take the cotton from the medicine bottle in time Before the bottle is opened, cotton is put to avoid the collision of drugs in the process of transportation In addition, water vapor is absorbed to keep the drugs dry But after the medicine bottle is opened, with the opening of the medicine bottle repeatedly, the cotton in the medicine bottle will continuously absorb the water vapor in the air and make the medicine damp Therefore, once the medicine is opened, the cotton and desiccant attached to the bottle must be discarded Tip 4: liquid medicine and tablets are open Zui should put the drugs in different categories External drugs such as iodine wine, ointment and aerosol should be separated from internal drugs Liquid drugs such as syrup, eye drops and oral liquid should be separated from tablets and capsules In this way, it can not only avoid the damp of tablet drugs, but also prevent the mutual contamination between different drugs Tip 5: timely treatment of expired drugs The expired drug surface is more likely to absorb moisture and mildew, and a little carelessness may "implicate" other drugs Observe carefully, for example, the tablet is loose and discolored; the sugar coating of the sugar coated tablet is adhered or cracked; the capsule of the capsule is adhered or cracked; the pill is adhered, moldy or moth eaten; the powder is seriously hygroscopic, caked and moldy; the eye drops are discolored and turbid; the ointment has peculiar smell, discoloration or oil layer precipitation, etc should be treated in time.
