Medicine is a substance or preparation for the prevention or treatment or diagnosis of human and livestock diseases. Drugs are divided into natural drugs and synthetic drugs according to their sources. Medicine can also prevent diseases, treat diseases, reduce pain, improve health, or enhance the body's resistance to diseases or help diagnose diseases.
Pharmaceutical packaging is an important part of the pharmaceutical industry. The packaging materials and containers that directly contact with drugs are the basic elements of drugs, which have an important impact on the quality and safety of drugs. Therefore, in the 12th Five Year Plan of the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical packaging should be placed in the same position as drugs, rather than supporting industries, which should be clearly defined in the national pharmaceutical industry plan. The research of pharmaceutical packaging materials should be synchronized with the development of drugs, and the policy support for the pharmaceutical packaging industry should be strengthened to reflect the industrial policy of pharmaceutical packaging materials, the key development areas of products and technologies, and the development direction.
In fact, drug packaging plays an important role in ensuring drug quality and drug safety. A good drug packaging can not only ensure the good quality of drugs in storage and transportation. It can also help to trace the drugs, prevent the emergence of anti-counterfeiting drugs, warehouse and sales statistics, prevent medication errors, and enhance the compliance of patients. As an integral part of drugs, drug packaging is getting more and more attention.
