Blister Packs as a Container Closure System: Ensuring Drug Safety, Quality, and Regulatory Compliance

Container closure systems (CCS) are essential components in pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring the safety, integrity, and efficacy of drug products throughout their shelf life. These systems play a critical role in protecting medications from environmental factors such as moisture, oxygen, and light, which can potentially degrade the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This article specifically focuses on blister packs, a commonly used CCS for solid oral dosage forms, and discusses their characteristics, impact on drug safety and quality, regulatory frameworks, safety management strategies, and innovation trends.
