PharmaKeep®
Oxygen Absorbing Dessicant for Pharmaceutical and Medical Use

PharmaKeep is a special type of absorber which can absorb both oxygen and moisture.  It can prevent oxidation and hydrolysis in pharmaceuticals and help to protect oxygen sensitive medical devices and equipment.  PharmaKeep’s dual absorption of both oxygen and moisture at the same time are what makes it so useful and special.  Conventional oxygen absorbers require moisture for oxygen absorption creating a potential problem for dry medicine.  PharmaKeep is suitable for dry medicine and pharmaceutical products because it has no need of moisture for the oxygen absorption to begin.  Both sachet and canister styles are available for use with any number of different sized bottles and containers.


PharmaKeep comes in two different styles, canister and sachet, for use with a large variety of different sized containers.

Most normal oxygen absorbers need moisture to begin reacting and so there is generally moisture built into the package.  This moisture helps the absorber to begin absorbing but it also transfers a small amount of moisture to the product it is protecting.  In the case of pharmaceuticals it is extremely important to keep the product dry.   PharmaKeep doesn’t have that problem as it is self-reacting and has no need for moisture to absorb oxygen.
