Pharmaceutical packaging requires a greater knowledge of materials and a greater
intensity of testing than most other packed products, not to mention a sound
knowledge of pharmaceutical products and an understanding of regulatory
requirements. Structured to meet the needs of the global market, this volume
provides an assessment of a wide range of issues. It covers the entire supply
chain from conversion of raw materials into packaging materials and then
assembled into product packs. Integrating information from many drug delivery
systems, the author discusses testing and evaluation and emphasizes traceability
and the need to for additional safeguards.
