چکیده
Antimicrobial preservatives are excipients added to multi-dose containers of both sterile and non-sterile drug products.

This article reviews key factors for consideration in the selection of preservatives, principles of the preservative-effectiveness test, and the significance of requirements for preservative-effectiveness testing in the compounding practice.
