Eco-friendly Pharmaceutical Formulation and Production Strategies and Future Perspectives
摘要
Eco-friendly pharmaceutical formulations and products have attracted increasing amounts of attention because the pharmaceutical industry is responsible for protecting the environment. In this book, various approaches to rendering drug products more eco-friendly are presented, with a focus on the application of green continuous manufacturing and the use of sustainable pharmaceutical packaging. Continuous manufacturing is a significant industry focus, as it offers numerous benefits over traditional batch processing, including increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The book discusses applications of recent technologies in the continuous manufacturing of solid dosage forms, from powder blending to granulation, along with process analytical technologies that provide in-line quality control for pharmaceutical production. Eco-friendly pharmaceutical packaging is another critical aspect when developing sustainable drug products. The book also explores various strategies for sustainable packaging, including the use of sustainable materials and reduced packaging waste. In addition, the future perspectives of these strategies are examined in detail to identify the path forward for green pharmaceutical production.
