Will Chinese medicine go bad the next day if it is put in the refrigerator?
Eating Chinese medicine can also treat many diseases, and the curative effect of Chinese medicine is not worse than that of western medicine, and Chinese medicine can also preserve health. Of course, it is necessary to use Chinese medicine correctly. Many people cook Chinese medicine at home, put it in the refrigerator if they can't finish eating it in one day, and Chinese medicine can't be refrigerated for too long. Remember not to exceed three days.

1, refrigeration should not exceed three days.

We found that the storage time of liquid medicine indicated on the sealed vacuum packaging bags of hospitals and pharmacies is different. There has been such a study that different prescriptions were stored at different temperatures, and the odor, turbidity, mildew, acidity and other determination items were recorded by observing the deterioration degree of the medicinal juice. The results show that the higher the temperature, the faster the deterioration of the liquid medicine. In high temperature season, the room temperature is above 25℃, and the decoction is generally stored for no more than 2 days. If refrigerated, it will not deteriorate for 7 days. In addition, even under the same conditions, different prescriptions have different degrees of deterioration. If the contents of starch, protein, sugar and other components in the liquid medicine are more, the deterioration will be faster.

In order to ensure the safety of medication, the best storage temperature of Chinese medicine decoction in sealed vacuum packaging is 0~5℃, and the storage time is 7~ 14 days, but it is best not to exceed 7 days. On the one hand, after the decoction is cooked, it is often stored at room temperature for half a day to a day before it is taken home for refrigeration, which will "accelerate" the deterioration of the decoction; On the other hand, if the decoction contains animal Chinese medicines such as scorpion and centipede or Chinese medicines with high sugar content such as Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Astragali, it will also affect the preservation time. If it is found that the liquid medicine bag is bulging or the liquid medicine tastes bad, and there are abnormal phenomena such as bubbles, it belongs to deterioration and cannot be taken.

If it is a traditional Chinese medicine decoction contained in a vessel provided by yourself, it is generally not recommended to take it overnight. Even if it is put in the refrigerator, it should not exceed 3 days, so as to avoid the deterioration of the liquid medicine and affect health.

It is suggested that it is best to take Chinese medicine on the same day and decoct it on the same day, which not only ensures the quality but also ensures the curative effect.
