With the development of technology, the level of medicine has also been improved, helping people overcome more diseases and increasing people's average life expectancy. However, drugs have certain side effects when treating diseases, which can have a certain impact on the human body. Usually, these effects are not obvious. However, when the drug packaging material is selected incorrectly, the therapeutic effect of the drug will be affected, and the treatment effect on patients is not obvious enough, Side effects may also be magnified, so when selecting drug packaging materials, strict review should be conducted to ensure the safety of drug storage. Based on this, the article analyzes the impact of different packaging materials on drug quality and safety, elaborates on the selection and use principles of relevant materials, and proposes relevant regulatory opinions.

The impact of drug packaging materials on drug quality

With the development of technology, the level of medicine has also been improved, helping people overcome more diseases and increasing people's average life expectancy. However, drugs have certain side effects when treating diseases, which can have a certain impact on the human body. Usually, these effects are not obvious. However, when the drug packaging material is selected incorrectly, the therapeutic effect of the drug will be affected, and the treatment effect on patients is not obvious enough, Side effects may also be magnified, so when selecting drug packaging materials, strict review should be conducted to ensure the safety of drug storage. Based on this, the article analyzes the impact of different packaging materials on drug quality and safety, elaborates on the selection and use principles of relevant materials, and proposes relevant regulatory opinions.

1. Current situation of the use of pharmaceutical packaging materials

Drug packaging materials refer to the outer packaging materials and drug filling materials used for protection, storage, and direct contact with drugs. They are referred to as drug packaging materials, which are commonly referred to as materials used to make drug storage containers. The main function of drug packaging is to protect drugs from environmental influences, preserve their efficacy, and ensure their complete preservation during transportation and sales. Generally speaking, packaging materials are divided into three categories:

(1) The packaging closest to the drug; (2) Packaging materials that can come into close contact with medicinal materials but can be recycled and reused, but require strict cleaning before reuse; (3) It can come into direct contact with drugs, but it will have a certain impact on the quality of the drugs and affect the effectiveness of the drugs. The third type of medicinal packaging materials not only reduces the therapeutic effect of drugs, but also produces some harmful substances to the human body, causing human dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the management of pharmaceutical packaging materials and strictly require pharmaceutical companies to strengthen supervision.

At present, the management plan for drug packaging has gradually matured, and the control of drug quality has gradually become a focus of social attention. Strict law enforcement during the supervision period of relevant departments has ensured the packaging quality of drugs, and the use of packaging materials has gradually shown diversified development. Glass, plastic, metal, and other materials have become common materials in drug packaging. Among these materials, glass materials have strong protective capabilities for drugs, Drugs can be stored for a long time, ensuring that their efficacy is not damaged for a long time. However, they are prone to damage during transportation and are inconvenient to carry and use, which cannot be ignored. Plastic materials are more convenient to transport during use, and can be used to synthesize many new materials with low usage costs. However, their protective effect on drugs is poor. Metal materials can better protect drugs during use, preventing them from being damaged and spoiled by moisture. The aesthetics and convenience of their packaging are also popular types, but their usage costs are relatively high. The advantages and disadvantages of different materials are relatively clear. With the continuous development of science and technology, alternative materials for raw materials have gradually been developed, which significantly improves the protective ability of drugs. But for the selection of materials, we cannot blindly pursue new technologies. Only by determining the properties of relevant drugs can we better protect the stability of their efficacy and ensure their therapeutic effects on human diseases.
