What is the ISO standard for pharmaceutical packaging?

An essential, globally recognized standard for producers of pharmaceutical packaging that comes into direct contact with pharmaceuticals is ISO 15378.

What are the requirements for pharmaceutical packaging?

The FDA mandates that information be included on pharmaceutical container labels, such as administration instructions and precise doses, usage cautions, and an exhaustive component list. Apart from the standard guidelines that dictate the utilization of pharmaceutical packaging, there exist particular FDA restrictions that necessitate adherence.

What is the main function of pharmaceutical packaging?

As a product travels through the supply chain, one of the packagings most evident purposes is to shield it from physical injury. A patient cannot benefit from medication that has been spilled, fractured, or crushed during transit.

What are the references?

Department of Pharmaceuticals, National Institutes of Health, FDA, WHO, International Trade Administration, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Government of Canada.
