How to properly store the syrup drug

Syrup is a liquid drug preparations are prone to damage. Why is that? Because of this preparation is a liquid, automatic water content is high enough. The water content is very susceptible to trigger the growth of microorganisms and bacteria as well as the occurrence of certain chemical reactions.

But that does not mean the preparation of this syrup should be avoided. As long as we can store it properly and according to the rules, of the weakness of this preparation can be covered. Some tips that I want to share them:

·     Keep the medicine bottle in a dry or a special box. The trick with the first pack of paper or black plastic bag to extend the shelf life of drugs

·        No need to store medication in freezer. This will damage the drug.

·        Do not forget to always close the bottle tightly so that air does not make syrup. Because the incoming air can make it easier for bacteria to grow

·  Avoid drugs are put in place in the sun or the light directly and continuously.

·       Always wash syrup spoon or dropper drops before and after use. Try using a spoon or dropper as in the dry state.

In addition, note the rules of drug taking. Although the drug was prescribed by a doctor we can, keep the packaging and ask for the brochure in addition to the etiquette rules of taking a drug that is prescribed, because it is our right as patients and consumers.

Take the medication as directed drink syrups are recommended. If 3 times a day, means the drug should be drunk every 8 hours. when if the 4x a day, means a drug taken every 6 hours. Likewise, the rules of drinking before and after meals. While the drugs are taken before meals means the drug will be better digested if taken on an empty stomach, so give the drug an hour or half hour before eating to give the drug time to react. And should not take medicine with tea water, because the substance tannins in tea can inhibit the absorption of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract. Always seek the explanation in the pharmacist when you buy at a pharmacy. our rights as patients and consumers to get the correct information.

That was partly what I know how to store and use the syrup preparation is good and effective. Hopefully it can be useful guys!
