چکیده
By 2013, world pharmaceutical packaging demand is projected to increase to $62.3 billion dollars, increasing from last year’s $45.9 billion. Packaging is a vital and critical step in the drug development process, and after spending up to 10 years or more and millions of dollars developing a product, it’s the last thing manufacturers should overlook. Packaging should be tested just as rigorously as the drug to establish product compatibility. Otherwise, there could be perilous consequences for the consumers’ well being and the manufacturer’s reputation.

متن کاملCost of goods sold and total cost of delivery for oral and parenteral vaccine packaging formats
Despite limitations of glass packaging for vaccines, the industry has been slow to implement alternative formats. Polymer containers may address many of these limitations, such as breakage and delamination. However, the ability of polymer containers to achieve cost of goods sold (COGS) and total cost of delivery (TCOD) competitive with that of glass containers is unclear, especially for cost-se...
متن کاملStability of diluted ketamine packaged in glass vials.
Ketamine hydrochloride for injection is a rapid-acting general anesthetic agent. To avoid an out-of-stock situation for this drug at the desired concentration for administration to patients (10 mg/mL), the author’s institution investigated the chemical stability of a diluted solution of the concentrated formulation (50 mg/mL), packaged for storage in glass vials. The only difference between the...
متن کاملMultidose vial contamination in anesthesia.
The intent of this research was to address the following question: Will an alteration in the drug aspiration technique cause a significant difference in the incidence of multidose vial contamination? The control group consisted of multidose vials collected at the end of each day from staff anesthetists. The use of these vials reflected the practice technique of a single needle and syringe for e...
