Pharmaceutical packaging includes the materials and containers used for packaging pharmaceutical products. Its main functions include protecting the pharmaceuticals from external elements such as light, oxygen, and moisture, ensuring the safety and proper use of the products, and maintaining their quality. Key considerations in designing pharmaceutical packaging are protection, compatibility, safety, and functionality.
The significance of pharmaceutical packaging lies in its role in preserving pharmaceutical quality, ensuring reliable transportation and storage, providing critical information about storage and dosage, enhancing user convenience, safeguarding against accidental use by children, and combating counterfeiting.
Pharmaceutical packaging is divided into primary and secondary categories. Primary packaging directly contacts the pharmaceuticals and protects their chemical composition, while secondary packaging complements the primary packaging without direct contact.
Primary packaging directly protects pharmaceuticals, often featuring moisture resistance, light-blocking, and gas barrier properties. For moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals, desiccants or low water vapor permeable materials are used. Primary packaging requires accurate labeling for patient safety and prohibits the use of recycled materials where composition cannot be guaranteed.
Secondary packaging supports primary packaging in maintaining pharmaceutical quality, preventing usage errors, and enhancing convenience. When primary packaging alone cannot guarantee quality, a combination of multiple packaging materials, including secondary packaging, is employed.
Pharmaceutical packaging varies based on the form of medication, such as oral, injectable, or topical. Types of primary pharmaceutical packaging include press through packs (PTPs), strip packaging, liquid medicine bottles, plastic bags, vials, ampoules, rubber stoppers, syringes, and tubes. Secondary pharmaceutical packaging includes pillow packaging, cartons, trays, and plastic films.
Functions of pharmaceutical packaging encompass gas barrier packaging, light-blocking packaging, child-resistant packaging, and moisture-proof packaging.
