A Product-Packaging Interaction Study to Support Drug Product Development

摘要

Drug packaging is subject to a number of regulatory requirements, including those for product containers and packaging. For example, according to the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C) section 501(a)(3), a drug is considered adulterated "if its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health." And 21 CFR states that drug packaging "shall not be reactive, additive, or absorptive so as to alter the safety,identity, strength, quality, or purity of the drug beyond the official or established requirements."
