Note: Care must be taken when selecting plastic kits

Once a person is old, various diseases can be riddled, such as: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, coronary heart disease, etc., so it is inseparable from various pills. There is a plastic pill box on the market. This pill box is divided into seven compartments. Every week, the medicine is put into the grid. One day, one grid is used. This is convenient and can help the elderly remember to take medicine, but the reporter only knows after consulting the expert. Not all medicines can be put into such plastic boxes.

At the beginning of each week, the filial sons and grandchildren will put the medicines that the old people want to eat into each grid. One grid represents the amount of medication for one day. After seven days, the medicine box will be emptied. When taking medicine, you only need to know the amount of medicine you need to take on the day. This plastic pill box has been favored by many elderly people because it is easy to carry and not easy to miss.

However, experts explained that not all drugs can be stored in plastic products such as plastic bottles and plastic bags. Some drugs such as insulin, diazepam, nitroglycerin, acetate, warfarin, etc. are easily reacted with plastics, and these drugs are not suitable for being placed in plastic containers. In addition, the bottles we usually see are generally opaque, and the plastic bottle has poor shading, which will make the drug deteriorate due to lack of protection. For example, drugs such as adrenaline, vitamin A, vitamin D, and hydrogen peroxide are not suitable for use in a poorly opaque kit.

Therefore, Xiaobian should remind everyone that plastic pillboxes bring a lot of convenience to life, but should be used with caution, generally try not to replace the original container of drugs.
