S. No. ADVANTAGES DISVANTAGES
• Permeation
• Sorption
• Leaching
• Softening
3. Rubber:
To provide closure for multiple dose vials, IV fluid bottles, plugs for disposable syringes and bulbs for
ophthalmic pipettes, rubber is the material of choice.
• Incompatibility
• Chemical instability
• Physical instability
Closure:
• Characteristics of Good Pharmaceutical rubbers
• Examples:
• Butyl Rubbers
• Natural Rubbers
• Neoprene Rubbers
• Polyisoprene rubbers
• Silicone Rubbers

2. Collection of materials
4. Filtration
7. Sterilization
Co solvents :-
Are used to increase the stability of poorly soluble drug
in water and prevent drug chemical degradation by
hydrolysis.
Eg. propylene glycol or in combination with ethanol and
polyethylene glycol.
Ingredients or added substances
• Antimicrobial preservatives :
• Maintain the stability of the product during
storage.
• Phenylmercuric nitrate and Thimerosal
0.001% , Benzethonium chloride 0.01%,
Benzyl alcohol 0.5- 10.0%, Phenol or cresol
0.5%, chlorobutanol 0.5%.
• Buffers :
• Added to maintain pH Results in stability of
drug against hydrolytic degradation or
enhance the solubility of drug in solution.
• Common buffers used in SVPs
phosphate
glutamate
Antioxidants :
• Other ingredients :
• Bulking agents – for freeze dried preparations(solids) eg
mannitol, lactose sucrose, dextrose.
• Suspending agents – Carboxy methyl cellulose, sorbitol.
• Emulsifying agents – lecithin, polysorbate 80
• Ophthalmic ointments bases – petrolatum.
Production facilities of parenterals
• The production area where the parenteral
preparation are manufactured can be divided
into five sections:
Clean-up area
Preparation area
Aseptic area
Quarantine area
• Alcoholic preparations
• Oily preparations
Incubate at 30-350 C for not less then 7 days Incubate at 20-250 C for not less then 14 days
Observe the growth in the media Observe the growth in the media
Direct inoculation method (METHOD
2):
1) Visual method
2) Coulter counter method
3) Filtration method
4) Light blockage method
C)leakage test
• The sealed ampoules are subjected to small cracks which
occur due to rapid temperature changes or due to
mechanical shocks.
Filled & sealed ampoules
Defective sealing
Vials & bottles are not suitable for this test because the
sealing material used is not rigid
D)pyrogen test
Warm the liquid being examined to approx. 38.5o C temp before injection
The volume of injection is NLT 0.5ml/kg & NMT 10ml/kg of body weight
2 normal reading of rectal temp are should be taken prior to the test
injection at an interval of half an hr & its mean is calculated- initial temp
The difference between initial temp & maximum temp is recorded- taken
as response
Limulus amebocyte lysate [LAL]
test
• Limulus amebocyte lysate [LAL] test another method
for the determination of pyrogenic endotoxins
