INTRODUCTION
The pharma packaging industry in India is still n a nascent stage. “First impression is the last impression; packaging plays a very important role in creation that impression for any product. But when it comes to pharmaceuticals, it has to go beyond looks”.
The term “compatibility” encompasses three different consequences of chemical interaction between the package and any of the components of a drug product formulation.
(1)The first results in actual reduction in drug availability or potency through sorption- the removal of the drug by the package.
(2) The second result in contamination as the formulation extracts substances from the package.
(3)The third cause’s breakdown of the package by deterioration of its strength, stiffness or barrier properties as the formulation chemically attacks the package
