Objectives: The purpose of this study is to know the present uses of pre-packed herbal medicine and their usefulness in Korean University Oriental Medicine Hospitals.
Methods: We selected 29 university hospitals to survey by using telephone and by mail.
Results: 1. The kind of packages that 29 hospitals uses were 2 layers, 3 layers and 3 layers with aluminum as the component layer, standing or non-standing pouch. 2. Total 24.1% hospitals are using 3 layers patch with aluminum because of their merits. The merits are preserving the quality of packaged drugs, blocking sun lights and beautiful looking, gas barrier properties and an opening convenience. 3. However, the 3 layers with aluminum packages were little bit more expensive and it can't be used in the microwaves.
Conclusions: This study revealed that 3 layers with aluminum packages were superior to any other packages because it can keep original flavor and properties, block sun light, and an easy opening convenience. Thus, aluminum contained 3 layer packages are better to preserve herbal medicines.
