UV and Light Protection Labels Safeguard Sensitive Substances
Schreiner MediPharm (schreiner-medipharm.com) has introduced labels that protect liquid medicine in transparent glass containers from damaging UV and light exposure. The portfolio includes three protective labels at various safety levels, while also allowing caregivers and users to ensure the liquid inside is in its intended, original condition.
Light-sensitive substances are often filled into brown glass vials to protect them against UV irradiation and light. The disadvantage is that the original color of the solution is no longer discernible, and the medicine cannot be visually inspected for particles or color changes before dispensing. Conversely, while transparent glass containers permit liquids to be inspected, they allow light and UV rays to pass through.
