Glass containers used in pharmaceutical preparations are designed to come into direct touch with the drugs. Thus the pharmaceutical glass packaging is built so that removing the contents is simple and appropriate for the preparation’s intended purpose.
Glass containers provide varying degrees of protection depending on the nature of the product and environmental risks while also minimizing constituent loss. These containers used in pharmaceutical packaging must not interact physically or chemically with the contents in a way that compromises drug product quality.
Why is glass preferable in pharmaceutical packaging?
Pharmaceutical glass products are strictly controlled to ensure that medicines are protected from physical damage, biological contamination, and external influences that could cause contamination.
- Glass packaging is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly packaging alternative.
- Glass containers are ideal for pharmaceutical packaging since they can readily be sterilized using heat.
- Glass packaging limits the alkalinity and hydrolytic resistance of the glass container.
- The glass prevents air gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen from entering the primary container, which reduces the chance of drug contamination.
- Glass packaging helps to prevent volatile components from escaping, increasing drug stability.
