 How to store the ophthalmic ointment of Xi'an No. 1 Hospital?

Common ophthalmic ointment includes antibiotic ointment, anti-inflammatory ointment and anti allergy ointment. Antibiotic ointment is used to treat eye infection, anti-inflammatory ointment is used to diminish inflammation and relieve pain, and anti allergy ointment is used to relieve eye discomfort caused by allergy.

Different kinds of ointment have different ingredients and storage methods, so you need to read the instructions carefully when saving the ointment to ensure that it is stored in the correct way.

Storage temperature and environment

The storage temperature and environment of the ointment are one of the important factors affecting the efficacy. Generally, the ointment should be stored in a cool, dry and well ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. Too high temperature may lead to the decomposition of the ingredients of the ointment and reduce the efficacy, while too low temperature may cause the ointment to become too hard and difficult to use.

In particular, some ointments need to be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. When storing these ointments, ensure that the temperature of the refrigerator is stable at 2-8 ℃ to avoid frostbite caused by the contact of the ointments with frozen objects.

In addition, the ointment should be kept away from children to avoid unnecessary injury caused by ingestion or contact with the ointment.

Precautions for packaging and use

The packaging of ointment is also one of the important factors for preservation. Before using the ointment, it is necessary to ensure that the drug package is intact. If the package is damaged or expired, stop using the ointment immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Pay attention to hygiene when using ointment. Wash your hands before use, and use a clean cotton swab or a personal eye ointment stick to take an appropriate amount of ointment to avoid direct contact with your fingers to avoid contamination. Do not share the same ointment with others to avoid cross infection.

At the same time, the ointment should be tightly covered after use to avoid contamination of the ointment and affect the subsequent use effect.

Shelf life and cleaning of ointment

All ointments have their own shelf life, and the use of expired ointments may lead to decreased efficacy or even adverse reactions. Therefore, the validity period of the ointment must be carefully checked before use to ensure that it is used within the validity period.

At ordinary times, we should also regularly clean the place where the ointment is stored to ensure that the environment is clean and tidy, so as to avoid the accumulation of sundries leading to the breeding of bacteria. At the same time, the expired or unnecessary ointment should be discarded in time and should not be thrown or used at will.
