Medicines normally contain different chemicals. These chemicals are photo-sensitive, that is, exposure to light and heat affects them. In fact, the composition of these medicines might change so much that they become ineffective. This is why the bottles are made of dark brown or opaque glass to minimise entry of light and heat if you look at the label there is a line that reads, ‘Store in a cool and dark place away from direct sunlight.
