Testing for light-induced degradation of pharmaceutical products in transparent packaging
The Unseen Threat to Pharmaceutical Products Testing for Light-Induced Degradation in Transparent Packaging
As a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products, ensuring the quality and stability of your products is paramount. One critical factor that can compromise the efficacy and safety of your products is light-induced degradation (LID). LID occurs when exposure to light causes chemical reactions within the product, leading to changes in its composition and potentially rendering it ineffective or even toxic. This phenomenon is particularly concerning for pharmaceuticals packaged in transparent containers, as they are exposed to direct sunlight and artificial lighting.
The Importance of Testing for Light-Induced Degradation
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the risks associated with LID. Regulatory bodies, such as the US FDA, have issued guidelines emphasizing the need for manufacturers to assess the potential impact of light on their products. Failure to do so can result in product recalls, financial losses, and damage to your companys reputation.
Thats where Eurolab comes in our laboratory services provide a comprehensive solution for testing the stability of pharmaceutical products against light-induced degradation. Our expert team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your products meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
