Have You Selected The Right Stopper For Your Lyophilized Drug Product?

Lyophilization is widely used for pharmaceuticals to help preserve parenteral drugs that are unstable in liquid formulation. Lyophilized drugs have many advantages like prolonged shelf life, easy dissolution and good stability. However, a suitable container closure system is necessary to ensure the successful lyophilization of pharmaceutical products while maintaining product quality.

Component selection is a complex process accounting for multiple variables. Due to risk, packaging considerations should occur concurrent with drug development, so you can mitigate risk at every step of the drug development process.
