What does the anti-theft ring on the eye drop bottle do

Eye drop bottle is a common packaging container in our life, which is mainly used for the packaging of ophthalmic or ear medicines. Attentive people may notice that there is a small circular circle under the lid. What is its main function?

With the continuous improvement and development of various pharmaceutical dosage forms, the forms and functions of packaging are also more diversified. In fact, the small circle at the lower end of the eye drop bottle cap is an anti-theft ring. Its main function is to connect the cap and play a vigilant role. If the cap has been opened, the small ring will come off and remain at the neck of the bottle, reminding the patient that the package has been opened and the drug is likely to be contaminated and can no longer be used.

The design of the anti-theft ring is relatively common on beverage bottles, mainly to remind buyers whether the beverage has been opened by others before drinking, and play a vigilant role. The anti-theft ring on drug packaging is also based on this function, and most of the lids of medical plastic bottles currently use this anti-theft structure.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the design of the anti-theft ring is only one aspect of the function of the eye drop bottle. I believe that the future drug packaging will bring us more surprises and better protect the safety of drugs.
