What are the temperature and humidity requirements for drug cool warehouses?

　　The quality and effectiveness of drugs are very important for the treatment of patients, and appropriate storage conditions are one of the keys to ensuring the quality of drugs. Temperature and humidity are factors that require special attention during drug storage. The following is an article about the temperature and humidity requirements for drug cool warehouses.

　　Temperature requirements:

　　The temperature of the drug cool warehouse should be between 2℃ and 8℃. This temperature range can effectively control the degradation rate of drugs and extend their shelf life. Too high a temperature can cause drugs to decompose, oxidize or lose their active ingredients, while too low a temperature may cause some drugs to crystallize or become unusable. Therefore, maintaining a stable temperature is essential to ensure the quality of drugs.

　　Humidity requirements:

　　The humidity of the drug cool warehouse should be maintained between 30% and 60% relative humidity (RH). Excessive humidity can cause drugs to absorb moisture, mold, and dilute the solution, thereby affecting the efficacy and stability of the drugs. On the other hand, too low a humidity may cause some drugs to lose moisture, causing solid drugs to become hard, brittle or discolored. Therefore, maintaining appropriate humidity can ensure the quality and stability of drugs during storage.

　　Temperature and humidity monitoring and control:

　　In the drug cool warehouse, the monitoring and control of temperature and humidity are crucial. Regular inspection and recording of temperature and humidity are essential to ensure that the environment in the warehouse meets the requirements. At the same time, it is necessary to equip the corresponding temperature and humidity monitoring equipment and set up an alarm system to detect and deal with abnormal situations in time. Regular calibration of temperature and humidity monitoring equipment is also an important step to ensure accuracy.

　　Storage condition specifications:

　　In order to ensure the quality and safety of drugs, drug cool warehouses should have clear specifications and operating procedures. This includes regular cleaning and disinfection of warehouses, reasonable layout and classification of drugs, avoidance of mixed storage, and avoidance of exposure to direct sunlight. In addition, attention should be paid to the material selection and sealing performance of drug storage containers to ensure that drugs are not interfered with by external factors.

　　In summary, the temperature and humidity requirements of drug cool warehouses are crucial to maintaining the quality and effectiveness of drugs. Appropriate temperature and humidity ranges, monitoring and control of temperature and humidity, and reasonable storage condition specifications are all important links to ensure the quality of drugs. In actual operations, medical institutions and pharmacies should attach great importance to the management of drug cool warehouses, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that drugs always maintain good quality and effectiveness during storage.
