How to Protect Child Resistant Bottles from Moisture

As people pay more and more attention to the incidents of children accidentally ingesting medicines, child-proof medicine bottles are applied to more and more medicines to better protect children's safety. Among all pharmaceutical dosage forms, solid drugs have relatively high requirements for moisture-proof performance, so how can this kind of packaging be moisture-proof?

The child-resistant bottle adopts a special double-layer structure design, which is opened by pressing down and rotating. The moisture-proof function of the packaging is to prevent the intrusion of external water vapor on the one hand, and to maintain the stability of the internal environment of the bottle on the other hand. The bottle body of this kind of packaging is generally made of polyethylene or polypropylene material. These materials themselves have very good barrier properties. As packaging materials, they can block the invasion of external water vapor and impurities.

Of course, in addition to preventing the entry of external water vapor, the drug itself will also contain some water molecules during the production process, so it is also necessary to maintain the stability of the internal environment. A desiccant bag will be placed inside the package to absorb moisture. There are also some manufacturers who have made special designs, using the small medicine compartment on the top of the cover to store the desiccant. This kind of cover integrates the functions of moisture-proof and child-proof, and the overall appearance is more beautiful.

The moisture-proof function of the child-proof bottle is very important for solid medicines. It is related to whether your medicines can be well stored within the validity period without deterioration or failure.
