Medicinal aluminum foil is a special aluminum foil material. It is one of the few metals that can be used as packaging materials. Aluminum foil can be well used for packaging and sealing medicines. Pharmaceutical aluminum foil has several advantages that make it an ideal choice for pharmaceutical packaging.

Medicinal aluminum foil has good permeability and can isolate external moisture, light and oxygen, effectively protect medicines from pollution and oxidation, and ensure the quality and safety of medicines. This is particularly important for pharmaceutical products that need to be kept dry and protected from light or oxygen.

Aluminum foil packaging can prevent oxidation of drugs: Aluminum foil packaging can effectively isolate oxygen and reduce the risk of oxidation of drugs. For drugs that are easily oxidized, such as vitamin C tablets, coenzyme Q10, etc., aluminum foil packaging can slow down the oxidation rate and maintain the effectiveness and stability of the drugs.

Control drug release: Aluminum foil packaging can delay the interaction between the drug and the external environment, thereby regulating the release rate of the drug. For example, enteric-coated tablets are usually sealed with aluminum foil to control their dissolution rate in the gastrointestinal tract, such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, etc.

Promote drug absorption: Aluminum foil packaging can help improve the disintegration and dissolution of oral solid preparations and improve drug absorption efficiency. For example, aluminum-plastic blister packaging is often used to encapsulate proprietary Chinese medicines such as Suxiao Jiuxin Pills and Compound Danshen Dropping Pills to enhance their bioavailability.

Medicinal aluminum foil also has good anti-oxidation properties, which can prevent chemical reactions caused by contact with oxygen during storage and transportation of drugs, thereby maintaining the active ingredients and activity of the drugs. This is particularly important for pharmaceuticals that are prone to oxidation and can extend their shelf life.

In addition, pharmaceutical aluminum foil has high strength and durability, ensuring that pharmaceuticals are not damaged during packaging and transportation. Its sealing performance is also very good, which can prevent the leakage and contamination of medicines.

In pharmaceutical packaging, medicinal aluminum foil is often used to make blister packaging, aluminum-plastic composite film packaging, etc. For example, some common drugs such as Suxiao Jiuxin Pills and Compound Danshen Dropping Pills are packaged in aluminum-plastic blister packaging to enhance their bioavailability and maintain their stability.
In general, medicinal aluminum foil is a powerful, safe and reliable pharmaceutical packaging material that can effectively protect the quality and safety of pharmaceuticals, extend their shelf life, and provide patients with a convenient and hygienic medication experience.
