Packages for tablets

Product Description

Cardboard boxes are industrially manufactured boxes that are mainly used for packaging goods and materials, and can also be recycled. Industry professionals 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: ensuring patient safety, ensuring the efficacy of the drug throughout its intended shelf life, uniformity of the drug across different production batches, thorough documentation of all materials and processes, control of possible migration of packaging components into the drug, control of drug degradation by oxygen, moisture, heat, etc., preventing microbial contamination, sterility, etc. Packaging is often involved in the dosing, dispensing, and use of a pharmaceutical product. The relationship between proper use and warning labels is also regulated. Packaging is an integral part of a pharmaceutical product.

Forms of packaging

  • Blister packaging
  • Bottles
  • Temporary dosing

Prescription labels

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

The label usually contains the following information:
• the name of the pharmacy
• name of the doctor who wrote the prescription
• the brand name of the medication
• generic name of the medication
• instructions for taking the drug
• safety warnings
• expiration date of the drug
• patient's name
• any prescription identification number
• date the prescription was filled
• medication dosage
• permitted number of refills

Along with the label on the bottle, some pharmacies may provide a "patient information sheet."
