Imballaggio per tablet

Cardboard boxes are industrially manufactured boxes that are mainly used for packaging goods and materials and can be recycled. Experts in the field rarely use the term cardboard because it does not refer to a specific material.

Pharmaceutical packaging is strictly regulated, but with some variations in detail depending on the country of origin or region. Some common factors may include: patient safety, ensuring the effectiveness of the medicine until the intended expiration date, uniformity of the medicine across different production batches, complete documentation of all materials and processes, control of any migration of components into the drug packaging, control of drug degradation by oxygen, moisture, heat, etc., prevention of microbial contamination, sterility, etc. Packaging often plays a role in the dosage, administration, and use of a pharmaceutical product. It also regulates the correct use and warning labels. Packaging is an integral part of the pharmaceutical product.

Labels for prescriptions

Prescription drug packaging often comes with a label listing the medication. Although medications come with instructions, it is best for patients to talk to their doctor and pharmacist about using the medication. Patients can then use the label for additional information and ideas on the subject to ask their healthcare provider.

The label usually contains the following information:

• name of the pharmacy

• name of the doctor who wrote the prescription

• brand name of the medication

• generic name of the drug

• instructions for receiving the drug

• safety warnings

• expiration date of the medication

• the patient's name

• any prescription identification number

• date the prescription was filled

• the dose of the medication
