When you store drug at low temperature you must consider the following:
- a- Storage of dusting powder below 00C causes the accumulation of granules.
- b- Storage of cream & ointment below 50C causes cracking.
- c- Storage of insulin below 00C causes aggregation of insulin.
- d- All of above.***
The correct answer is: d- All of the above.
Here is a breakdown of each statement:
- Storage of dusting powder below 0°C causes the accumulation of granules:
This is true. Because dusting powders are finely divided powders, storing them at low temperatures can cause the moisture in the air to condense on the particles, leading to clumping and aggregation.
- Storage of cream & ointment below 5°C causes cracking:
This is also true. Creams and ointments contain various ingredients that can separate or solidify at low temperatures, leading to cracking and changes in their consistency and effectiveness.
- Storage of insulin below 0°C causes aggregation of insulin:
This is also true. Insulin is a protein that can break down or become less effective when exposed to freezing temperatures.
Therefore, all of the statements listed are true regarding the importance of proper storage temperature for different types of drugs.
