Odorous products, such as tinctures of valerian and motherwort, should be stored separately from each other, said Igor Sokolsky, Candidate of Pharmaceutical Sciences and a specialist in phytochemistry, writes aif.ru.

According to him, the joint storage of these drugs will not affect their properties, but may contribute to the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

The specialist also reminded that medicines should be stored at the recommended temperature. This is important for any pharmaceutical product. They should be in a dry, dark place, out of the reach of children, and in no case should they be left in direct sunlight and in a room with high humidity.

In general, modern packaging reliably protects medicines from the influence of the external environment, including from mutual influence on each other, Sokolsky said.
