Material is very important when choosing eye drop bottles

 As an important part of drug circulation, pharmaceutical packaging plays an important role in protecting drug safety. For eye drops with high-risk routes of administration, the importance of packaging is particularly important. How to choose a high-quality eye drop bottle, first of all, we must start with the material.

With the popularization of electronic products, the resulting market share of ophthalmic drugs has continued to increase, and with the improvement of people's health awareness, attention to drug packaging has also increased. The material of pharmaceutical packaging is the primary consideration when choosing eye drop bottles. The eye drop bottle is used to squeeze the bottle body to achieve eye administration. If the material is too hard, it will not be able to squeeze out, or the amount of medicine will exceed the standard due to excessive force, resulting in waste.

Secondly, as a medicine packaging material, the raw materials of the eye drop bottle must be non-toxic, tasteless, and resistant to most acids and alkalis to ensure that the medicine and the container will not react. Of course, this needs to be proved through actual tests.

In summary, the material of the eye drop bottle is related to whether the eye drops are used smoothly and conveniently, and also related to the safety of drug storage. At present, the eye drop bottles on the market mostly use low-density polyethylene (LDPE) raw materials. Compared with high-density polyethylene, this raw material has good flexibility, resistance to corrosion by most acid and alkali solvents, and will not be squeezed. It produces creases and is a good packaging material.
