Safe, Simple, and Practical: Meeting the Specific Demands of Pharmaceuticals and Packaging

It’s time to rethink the design of pharmaceutical products and packaging. With the focus on delivering patient-centric administration for better treatment adherence, there is a demand to make drugs easier to handle and swallow. Similarly, packaging materials need to be more practical and safer to avoid unintended interactions, especially with biotherapeutics, which are labile and would result in compromise on the drug efficacy.
