There are methods of formulation, preparation, and packaging that all reduce the degradation of medicines as much as possible. Some medicines can contain preservatives to prevent decomposition, or inert ingredients to reduce susceptibility to light, heat, or moisture. Many medicines are prepared in time-release spheres or Gelatin capsules to isolate them until they are to become activated. Some are wrapped in airtight packages, or in brown glass bottles, or in vacuum-sealed containers where necessary.
