How to Choose Parenteral Packaging: A Practical Guide to Vials, Prefillable Syringes, and Cartridges
In parenteral drug development, packaging is often discussed as a format decision based on containment in vials, prefillable syringes, or cartridges. In reality, packaging choices involve far more than the container itself. Packaging influences product stability, manufacturing complexity, patient experience, and long-term lifecycle performance.
For teams entering the parenteral packaging space, the goal should not be to simply identify a “best” option. However, the goal should be to select the format that best aligns with the drug product’s characteristics, the intended patient population, and the development strategy.
