This document provides an overview of pharmaceutical packaging technology. It defines pharmaceutical packaging and describes its main functions of physical protection, biological protection, and information communication. It outlines the primary, secondary, and tertiary types of packaging and discusses properties like mechanical strength, resistance to light, chemicals, and microbes. It also covers packaging components, materials like glass and plastics, labeling requirements, environmental considerations, and concludes with thanks.

Mechanical: Possess sufficient mechanical
strength to withstand while Handling, Shipping
& Using.
Physical: Must protect from Light.
Chemical: should not react with Product.
Biological: Should not support Microbial
growth on packaging.

8. Labeling
Active Ingredient: API Name / Amount.
Uses: Diseases will treat or prevent.
Warnings: Adverse effects, Side effects.
Directions: how much to take, how to take.
Other Information: How to store and required
information about product.

9. Environment
(EPA, 1989)
Emphasizing some positive approach involving-
Proper waste management is important to
protect human health
environment &
natural resources.
All packaging has an environmental impact.
