Security Packaging Q&A

Asked January 28th, 2010
This is a very difficult area. Every hospital and physician has very different guidelines and procedures for handling vial and syringe medication storage and administration.
There is a Pharma industry trend that is moving toward prefilled syringes and pens. Although this type of delivery system is more costly than the vial and syringe method, it will better address the tamper-evidence issues.
Also, there are many overt, covert, and tamper-evident scenarios that can be employed on the package.
