China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Many have a cough syrup feel that, after opening the bottle before drink half hour, taste is lighter, the more strong taste drink the back, the more poor taste. This phenomenon show that in the first half when drink cough syrup, may not have reached the concentration of the most curative effect.

        If careful observation, we also find that syrup drugs storage time is long, the lower the floe will some things. This may have two reasons. First, the storage time is long, the Chinese herb extract more than major, precipitation; Second, syrup drugs "afraid cold", the low temperature will make the sucrose, the drugs reduce the solubility of, and then forming crystallization precipitation. Plus the proportion of sucrose than water, so the concentration in the bottle than top, looking at are more turbid.

        To avoid these problems, the first should be strictly according to the specifications holding of a drug product. Generally speaking, the best preserved in syrup temperature 10 to 30 degrees Celsius, opening the bottle should use up after as soon as possible. A short time burn, can use plastic wrap parcels, put in the freezer for preservation. Special attention should be paid to, each time to shake the bottle before taking full, in order to see the floe sediment shall prevail. This can avoid the uneven distribution of drugs to prohibit to take quantity.

        In addition to traditional Chinese medicine syrup, in use other liquid medicine before, also had better can wag once. To treat skin disease including topical cha agent, surgery of drop agent, and treatment of asthma spray, etc. It is important to emphasize that if shake the bottle, found sediment can not eliminate, drug may have metamorphism, had better not use.
