Syrup agent because of the high sugar content, there is a certain antiseptic effect, so generally are stored at room temperature, that is, 10 to 30 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the environment is humid, the lid is not screwed on tightly or contaminated and so on any one of the circumstances, the syrup agent may breed microorganisms, resulting in mold, rancidity.

If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius, the syrup agent is easy to precipitate crystals, which may lead to drinking the medicine does not reach the effective concentration, and may also have adverse reactions.

The environment in the refrigerator is usually humid, and the freezer area is between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius, so syrups are not suitable for storage in the refrigerator.

If you put the syrup in the refrigerator, it is easy to precipitate sugar and drugs and other precipitates, these precipitates will not disappear even if you shake the liquid. At this time, the syrup distribution is not uniform, the lower layer of concentration is higher than the upper layer.

Family stockpiles of syrups should all be stored in strict accordance with the instructions on the storage conditions, the temperature is too cold or too hot will affect the quality of the drug. General drugs can be stored at room temperature (10 ℃ ~ 30 ℃), as long as it is protected from light, dry (relative humidity between 45% and 75%), airtight state can be. The "cool place" referred to in the instructions for the drug.
