Effervescent tablets deteriorated by moisture

As a special item, effervescent tablets have very strict requirements on packaging. If they are damp, they can easily lead to deterioration of the medicine, affect the efficacy and even human health. Generally, a desiccant is placed in a medicine packaging bottle to absorb moisture. Many people may have questions. As long as the packaging bottle is well-sealed, the medicine will not be damp. It is believed that the desiccant is not necessary. In fact, in addition to the environment in the bottle, these factors will affect the dryness of the effervescent tablet packaging.

Envirnmental Factor

Environmental factors are the most direct factor that affects the dryness of effervescent tablets packaging bottles. Water vapor will be generated during packaging production and drug filling. In addition, if the storage environment is relatively humid, water molecules in the outside atmosphere will easily penetrate into the packaging bottle, and the medicine will also be easily damp.

Packaging Materials

The main materials of medicine packaging are polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester and other general plastics. The material itself has a certain moisture content and will be released during production and storage to produce water vapor. After the packaging container is sealed, the air in the bottle will also contain moisture.

Drug moisture

Basically, medicines have a certain percentage of safe water. If the water content is too low, medicines are easy to dry and crack, and too much water content is easy to mold. Therefore, the water content of medicines should be controlled at a safe water ratio to ensure a good validity period.

The above three factors will affect the dryness of the eff tab tube supplier. Therefore, placing a desiccant in the medicine packaging is one of the simplest and effective ways to prevent the medicine from getting wet. In the production process of drugs, the moisture content is an important indicator of the quality of drugs. The level of moisture content will directly affect the quality and service life of the drugs. Therefore, in the production and quality control of drugs, pharmaceutical companies must strictly control and test the Moisture content.
