The difference between effervescent tube and ordinary medicine bottle

An effervescent tablet is a special tablet consisting of a main drug, diluent, binder, disintegrant, lubricant and other auxiliary materials. When placed in water, an effervescent reaction occurs immediately. The effervescent tube is a special packaging for this kind of medicine. So, what is the difference between this kind of packaging and ordinary medicine bottles?

Compared with ordinary medicine bottles, the two parts are basically the same, and both consist of a bottle cap and a bottle body. The main difference lies in the bottle cap. The caps of ordinary medicine bottles are generally sealed with aluminum foil gaskets without excessive special design. The cap of the effervescent tube is composed of a desiccant, a coil spring and an anti-theft ring. This design is for better storage of the effervescent tablet.

Effervescent tablets are easy to decompose when exposed to moisture, so the moisture-proof performance of the packaging is relatively high. The desiccant is placed in the small medicine bin on the top of the bottle cap, which can absorb moisture in the air, maintain the stability of the tablet, and avoid The desiccant is in direct contact with the drug. The spiral spring on the bottle cap is generally made of LDPE raw materials, and is soft in texture, which can play a role in compressing the tablets and avoid damage to the tablets due to various external forces during transportation. The anti-theft ring is to determine whether the drug has been opened, and play a vigilant role.

Compared with ordinary medicine bottles, the effervescent tube adds a spiral spring and a desiccant storage bin to the cap. This new packaging form better meets the storage needs of effervescent tablets and is also a reflection of the continuous innovation of pharmaceuticall packaging.
