An Introduction to Parenteral Packaging: The Backbone of Safe and Effective Injectable Drug Delivery
In an industry defined by innovation, one essential element quietly shapes the success of every injectable therapy: parenteral packaging. Parenteral packaging may sound technical, but its purpose is straightforward - it is the primary container system that holds, protects, and delivers sterile drug products to patients.
“Parenteral” refers to drug products administered by injection, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. Depending on therapeutic requirements, these injections are delivered through several main routes, each chosen to optimize onset, duration, and patient experience (see illustration and table below).
