Sterile Dosage Forms
Sterile Pyrogen free
 Sterile products are
dosage forms of
therapeutic agents
that are free of viable
microorganism.
 Sterility is absolute
term.
 Pyrogens are substances
that produce a fever. The
most common pyrogens
are endotoxins, produced
by G-ve bacteria .
 Thermostable
Sterile Dosage Forms
Pyrogen
 Removed by oxidizing to easily eliminated gases or to
non volatile solid easily separated by fractional
distillation .
Several distillation
are done , purified
sterile , pyrogen free

Water for injection WFI
 It is not sterile
 No added substance.
 For manufacture of injectable products which are to
be sterilized after preparation.
 Used withen 24 hr after its collection.
 Collected in sterile and pyrogen free container glass
or glass lined.
Sterile water for injection SWFI
 Sterile
 Pyrogen free
 No bacteriostatic or other added substance
 Contain greater amount of solid than WFI Why
Diluent for
already sterilized
and packaged
injectable
medication
Used
IV
Not
used
Sterile water for injection SWFI
 sterilised within 12 hours of collection and
distributed in sterile containers
 It should be packaged only in single dose containers
of not larger than 1-litre size
Bacteriostatic water for injection
 Sterile water for injection contain antimicrobial agents .
 containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as
a bacteriostatic preservative . Package is not more than
30 ml of water .
 can be used in diluting drugs that can subsequently be
administered by intravenous, intramuscular, or
subcutaneous injection.
Why
Nonaqueous vehicle
 Substance liable to hydrolysis
 Substance insoluble in water
 Must be non toxic , non irritating
 without pharmaceutical activity
 Viscosity & pH must be suitable
 Misciblity with body fluid

endotoxin ( challenge)
 USP recommends a 3-log reduction in endotoxin
using lamulus amebocyte lysate reagent with a
senseitivity greater than 0.15 EUml
 All pervious tests in addition to pyrogen test

filtration
Don’t use more
than 24 hr * *
 Membrane filters : cellulose esters ,
plastic ..
 Asbestos-containing filters should
not be used. Or fiber shedding
 followed by an aseptic transfer of
the sterilized solution to the final
containers
 All filters, tubes, and equipment
used "downstream" must be sterile
( autoclave)
 Filter integrity test
 filters should not interact with the
product
Radiation
1) Mechanism
2) For what
3) Disadvantages
 Laws and regulations for
protection against radiation must
be respected.
 Radiation doses should be
monitored with specific
dosimeters
Aseptic sterilizationTerminal sterilization
 Drug product & container
& closure are first
sterilized separately.
 Each aseptic process can
introduce error .
 Only used when terminal
sterilization is not
feasible.
 Product in its final
container is sterilized as
whole.
 Can be manufactured
under clean rather than
aseptic .
 most common ??
Sterile Dosage Forms
Air classification system
 B at rest = A at operation
 C at rest = B at operation
 D at rest = C at operation
 A for high risk operation
 B surround area A
 C & D for less critical stages
 For ISO 7, particles smaller than 0.5 microns (≥0.1
µm, ≥0.2 µm, ≥0.3 µm) are not taken into
consideration. The concentration of particles of ≥0.5
µm and above should be below 352,000, for particles
of 1 micron and above 83,200 or lower and for
particles of 5 microns and above 2,930 or lower.
HEPA Filters
 High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters
 Can remove at least 99.97 % of dust , pollen , mold ,
bacteria and any airporn particle 0.3 microgram
HEPA Filters
 Air cleanliness is achieved by passing the air through
HEPA filters. The more often the air passes through
the HEPA filters, the fewer particles are left in the
room air.
 Number of air change with hour =
Volume of air filtered by one hour /volume of the room
ISO class Average number of air changes per hour
ISO 5 240–360 air changes per hour (unidirectional
airflow)
ISO 6 90–180 air changes per hour
ISO 7 30–60 air changes per hour
ISO 8 10–25 air changes per hour
Conventional building 2–4 air changes per hour
ISO 5 (A) (100)
 use unidirectional airflow
 (not just below a LAFW hood)
 ISO 5 zone | 240–360 air changes per hour
