Datwyler Healthcare's Tabassam Sharif, regulatory affairs manager, and Eugene Polini, technical key account manager, explain how parenteral packaging suppliers are optimising their technologies and processes to meet regulatory requirements.
Key highlights:
- Regulatory professional are the pharma industry's eyes and ears - foreseeing what could go wrong and implementing rules to ensure requisite standards are met.
- Pharma companies are increasingly engaging with packaging suppliers in the early stages of drug development. They study the impact of packaging materials on a specific formulation to avoid surprises at later stages.
- Primary packaging must act as a frontline defence to ensure drug products are kept free of contamination, and easy to dispense, even after prolonged storage.
Meeting increasingly strict regulations for parenteral packaging is certainly a challenge. Nevertheless, regulations serve as a guide for pharmaceutical companies and help to ensure that the products brought to the public are safe. After all, it all revolves around patient safety. Regulations help standardise and supervise healthcare. They ensure the safety, effectiveness, and overall quality of drugs.
