Pharmaceutical care, pay attention to weather

With the increasing living standards, health has become the topic of most concern.

Urban and rural residents (particularly some of the "old") in General has "family medicine". Shanghai authorities do people use survey show that the total number of Shanghai family alternate medicines without 12.9 million capsules, more than 6 billion in value. But home storage of drugs, it is important to note that the meteorological conditions, be sure to carefully read the relevant storage environment in medicines and prescription reminders. Otherwise, you may be on human cause great harm.

In General, the summer heat, light, is the quality of medicines "killer".

High temperature can make the protein in bio denaturing is invalidated, or you can make some herbs in a large number of volatile components, reducing their volatile. Plus the damp air, tablets will damp loose rupture, discoloration, causing failure of adhesion. In contrast, low temperature on the custody of the drugs, but it is not absolute. For example some creamy ointment (such as "nitroglycerin ointment"), you may be in the cold winter, appear coarse granular material, ointment can no longer use. So save this class of drugs, also note the "warming" miles.

Different types of drugs, the requirements of the meteorological conditions.

Domestic custody must note the following:

(1) Western General save for room temperature, should be placed in direct sunlight, is a cool place, avoiding placed near the kitchen and bathroom of the high temperature, high humidity areas.

In General, suitable for ambient saved drugs, can fit in the refrigerator. But some solid suppository, because certain parts of the human body is the funnel in order to achieve the desired effect, summer indoor temperature exceeds 30 ° c, easily lead to drugs melted, deformation, and therefore must be placed in the refrigerator; in addition, some liquid preparations, such as for the blood of oral, gluconate preparation easy metamorphic, temperatures must also be put into the refrigerator refrigerated.

(2) storage of herbs, and the relationship between maximum air humidity, must be in the low humidity environment.

Buy Chinese herbal medicine is to choose a dry day, at the same time, we need to pay attention to ingredients itself dry. When stored, it is best to use a dry non-iron class sealed cans, if not, you can also use the plastic bags it layer coating to isolate the air. Located near the herbs, you can put some desiccant. If regularly taken medication, drugs manufactured small packaging to avoid

-Overall moisture; if long time no medication, drugs, save in the refrigerator.

A refrigerator can not only better cooling, dehumidification, particularly beneficial herbs. Just be sure to seal, to avoid the smell of the "conspiracy."

(3) some of the drugs and not suitable for low-temperature refrigeration.

For example, plaster drugs at low temperatures appear cohesive smaller physical phenomenon, it's not easy to use. But in the summer, there would be no such "inconvenient". In addition, some in low temperature storage of injection, precipitated Crystal-shaped solid, although this is the case, does not affect the quality of drugs, but in some trouble when used, it may even cause patient's "suspected" that evoked dispute. Patients in winter use aerosol, spray spraying occurs in domes, medicine and the phenomenon of fog unevenness, the low temperature in winter is obviously get out of trouble. Fix nor trouble — before they are used, these aerosol class drugs, kept in indoor warm place.
