民众买瓶装药,开瓶后,仍留着棉花、干燥剂等物,以为这样做才能维持药罐干燥及药锭质量。药剂师表示,这是错误的观念,开罐后应该将棉花、干燥剂丢掉。棉花及干燥剂是确保药物出厂至开封期间的质量,开封后,棉花暴露空气中易潮湿,干燥剂也失去作用,若与药品摆放,才容易造成变质。 People buy bottled medicine, after opening the bottle, still keep cotton, desiccant and other things, in order to maintain the can medicine jar and medicine tablet quality. Pharmacists said this is the wrong notion that cotton and desiccant should be discarded after canning. Cotton and desiccant ensure the quality of drug during the period of delivery from the factory to Kaifeng. After opening, the cotton is easily exposed to the air and the desiccant also loses its function. If it is placed with the medicine, it will easily deteriorate.
