What medicines can plastic bottles hold?

The advancement of science and technology has allowed more properties of polymer materials to be tapped and widely used in all walks of life. Medical plastic bottles are a common application field. So, in the pharmaceutical industry, what drugs can this packaging hold?

There are many types of medicines that can be contained in medicine bottles, which can be roughly divided into two categories: solid and liquid. Among them, solid drugs include capsules, tablets, and pills. The packaging requirements of these drugs are mainly moisture-proof performance. A desiccant is placed inside the bottle to absorb moisture. Generally, the desiccant of the bottle is packaged in a bag. With the continuous updating and iteration of packaging, some bottles combine the moisture-proof function with the bottle cap, and a moisture-proof integrated cover appears. Such a design can avoid direct contact between the drug and the desiccant, and also prevent children from accidentally eating the desiccant.

The other category is liquid drugs, mainly including various oral liquids, suspensions, and the like. Liquid preparations have high requirements on the tightness of the packaging. In order to enhance the tightness, aluminum foil gaskets are used to seal. For some special drugs, such as ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen suspension drops, etc., in order to prevent children from accidentally opening the package and accidentally eating the medicine, a medicinal bottle cap with a child-proof opening function is selected to protect the safety of children.
