Which medication should a pharmacy technician dispense in its original packaging to protect it from moisture?

Dabigatran (Pradaxa) should be dispensed in its original packaging to safeguard it from moisture. This specific medication is formulated as a capsule that is sensitive to moisture, and exposure can diminish its effectiveness. The manufacturer emphasizes the importance of keeping the capsules in their original bottles to maintain their stability and potency because the packaging is designed to protect them from environmental factors.

For other medications listed, while they may have certain storage requirements, they do not have the same sensitivity to moisture that requires them to be dispensed in their original packaging as a critical necessity. Understanding the storage needs of different medications ensures that patients receive their prescriptions in optimal condition, which is a vital responsibility of pharmacy technicians.
