Module 7 Lesson 1 Flashcards
Is the science ,art amd technology of enclosing or protecting products or distribution, storage, sale, and use
packaging
Is the activities of designing and producing the container for a product
Packaging
It should not be reactive , additive or absorptive so as not to alter the safety, identity, strength, quality and purity of the product
Enumerate types of packaging materials (3)
Primary packaging components
Secondary packaging components
Tertiary packaging materials
Packaging materials which come n direct contact with the product itself
Primary packaging components
Packaging materials which do not come in direct contact with the product and serve as accessory to the primary packaging component
Secondary packaging
This packaging is used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport shipping
Tertiary packaging materials
Two types of special packaging
Unit-dose packaging
Device packaging
This packaging guarantees safer medication by reducing medication errors
Unit-dose packaging
May be useful in improving compliance with treatment
This type of packaging permits easier administration by means of devices such as prefilled syringes, dropper, transdermal delivery systems, pumps and aerosol sprays
Device packaging
Objectives of packging (7)
Physical protection
Barrier protection
Confinement or agglomeration
Marketing
Security
Convenience
Portion control
Objects enclosed in package may require protection
Physical protection
A barrier from oxygen, water vapor, dust is often required
barrier protection
Small objects are typically grouped together in one package
Containment or agglomeration
Packaging and labels can be used by marketers t encourage potential buyers to purchase the product
marketing
Packages can be made with improved tamper resistance to deter tampering and also can have tamper evident featured to help indicate tampering
Security
Packages can have features tha add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale and reus
Convenience
To control usage
Portion control
Types of glass (4)
1 - highly resistant borosilicate glass
2 - treated soda lime glass
3 - soda lime glass
4 or NP (non parenteral) - soda lime glass
Glass that is suitable for all products and usually intended for parenteral admnistration
Highly resistant borosilicate glass
What is the chemical composition of highly resistant borosilicate glass
Silicon dioxide and boric dioxide
How to increase resistance of highly resistant borosilicate glass?
Treat with sulfur dioxide
This glass is usually for acidic or neutral solutions nonreactive with the glass
May also be used with alkaline if stability data demonstrate its suitability
Treated soda lime glass
How is treated soda lime treated
Under controlled temperature and humidity conditions
With sulfur dioxide or other dealkalizers - to neutralize the interior surface
Composition o soda lime glass
Silicon dioxide
