Pharmaceutical package need water-resistant materials to ensure that the medicine is secure. The use of these materials is due to different reasons including:
Moisture: Occurrence of moisture may compromise the stability of drugs, leading to chemical decomposition, microbial growth and physical changes. Thus, water-resistant materials prevent moisture from getting into the drug during processing and storage.
Some medicines are sensitive to moisture and they lose their efficiency once they come into contact with water. Water-resistant containers help keep the drug potency and therapeutic effectiveness within the life cycle of the medication.
Trends in healthcare have led to a rise in cases of hospital associated infections (HAI) attributed to poor packaging conditions of medical devices and other consumables like drugs. Therefore, if not well protected by water resistant materials allowing atmosphere air oxygen or wetting such materials with blood, saline, or other liquids, bacteria will grow easily on them.
Water resistance also helps in increasing a drug’s shelf life. Packaging prevents penetration of any moisture thereby ensuring long-term stability of medicines thus reducing spoilage or degradation risks.
The regulations put forth by various regulatory bodies such as FDA (Food and Drug Administration USA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA) often call for strict pharmaceutical packaging regulations so as to guarantee product safety and its efficiency too while under usage. The use of such types of material helps manufacturers meet the requirements set by these agencies.
In pharmaceutical industry water-resistant package forms part of quality assurance measures that are used in receiving a intended final product that conform all specified standards for both physical and chemical properties just as intended prior consumption by patients who might have prescribed it when needed.
Patients will expect that the medications they consume are not contaminated and in addition to this, they should always remain effective for those who take them.
Water-resistant materials also prevent leaching of harmful substances from the packaging into the medication and vice versa. It is done so as to avoid drug overspill or any other chemical interactions that may be unsafe for a patient.
Finally, water-resistant materials used in pharmaceutical packaging ensure high product quality, safety, efficiency and ultimately protect manufacturers’ reputation as well as consumer’s health.
