It is important that distilled water is used in medicines. Otherwise, tap water, rain water, etc, will contain chemicals (chlorine, sulphur, dust, etc,) that may alter a medicine and cause the medicine to be ineffective or dangerous.

What is the use of distilled water?

Water is liable to contain various things dissolved in it. Distilled water is water that has been distilled; this means that the water has been heated to the point that some of it vapourises.
