Use sturdy, UN-certified packaging designed for pharmaceutical transport. This ensures the medication remains stable and safe during transit.
Primary Packaging
Tinidazole tablets or capsules should be in their original, sealed containers. For liquids, use tamper-evident sealed bottles designed to withstand pressure changes. Always include clear, concise labeling displaying the medication name, quantity, and batch number.
Secondary Packaging
Place the primary packaging inside a rigid container. Corrugated cardboard boxes with sufficient padding are suitable. Use cushioning materials like bubble wrap or foam inserts to prevent damage during transit. Avoid using materials that may react with the medication.
Tertiary Packaging (For Express Shipments)
For express shipping, consider a further layer of protection. A strong outer box provides added security against impacts. Clearly mark the package with appropriate hazard labels and the “Fragile” and “Keep Dry” markings. Include shipping documentation, including the recipient’s details and any necessary permits or certifications.
Temperature Control
Tinidazole’s stability depends on temperature. If express shipping involves significant temperature fluctuations, use temperature-controlled packaging such as insulated containers with ice packs (for heat) or heating packs (for cold). Monitor temperature throughout transit, if possible.
Additional Safety Measures
Securely seal all packaging layers with strong tape. Avoid using loose seals which can come undone during transit. Provide contact information for the sender on the outer packaging. Remember to comply with all applicable national and international regulations for pharmaceutical transport.
