Before Knowing the Reason, you must know about the Photo- chemical reaction.

Photo-chemical reaction:

• The reaction which takes place by light is called as Photo-chemical reaction. When this Reaction happens, the molecules will react with light and Change its Physical and Chemical properties.
• Due to this chemical reaction, the plants will produce its food by converting the Carbon-dioxide to Carbohydrate which is called as Photosynthesis.

• you may ask that what is relation between the Photo-chemical reaction and Usage of brown bottle in Tonic.

Reason for Usage of Brown bottle in Tonic:

• The main reason is most of the Tonic and Syrup is photo-sensitive. 
• Photo-sensitive means some Drugs are usually ready for Photo-chemical reactions. When a light passes over this Medicine it will react with the medicine and Change it physical and Chemical properties.

• If The physical and chemical property chances in Medicine. it will reduce the Lifetime of Medicines.
• Imagine if an Medicine is Normally valid up to 2years. If this Photo- chemical reaction happens it will reduce it up to 4 hours.

What will happen when we drink a Expiry Tonic:

• The process by which the medicine expires due to photo- chemical reaction is called Photodegradation.
• If suppose you have drink an tonic which is over the Expiry Date due to Photo-chemical Reaction.

• It may cause some side effects, allergy and More Infections

Is the Bottle is in Brown Color:

• No, the Bottle used to store Medicine s not Brown color. It is Amber color.
• We all know that all different colors have different Frequency. according to Color Spectrum the Ember color stays in Low frequency.
• Imagine if you are wearing a Red color glass, the class will block other colors and show only the Red color.
• Same as that, The tonic is stored in a Amber colored bottle, so it blocks other color like Red, Blue and UV light and Shows only the Amber color to the Medicines So the Medicine will not react to the Light.

Do all Medinices are Photo- Sensitive:

• No some Medicines does react to Light. They may to stored in a Normal Bottle.
• If an Medicine is Photo-sensitive you may see a Label in bottle that DO NOT EXPOSE TO LIGHT.

The Primary reason to store Tonic in Brown color bottle is to Increase the Expiry date of the Medicine.
