Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are the basis of pharmaceutical drugs and serve as the main agents responsible for delivering therapeutic effects to patients. APIs interact directly with biological targets to produce the desired physiological response. Whether it concerns pain relief, inhibiting inflammation or tackling specific pathogens, APIs are responsible for the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals.
Active pharmaceutical ingredients can take different forms, such as liquids, powders, crystals and extracts. The quality of the active ingredients in a drug has a direct effect on the safety and efficacy of that drug. Poorly manufactured and contaminated active ingredients can cause negative health effects, including death. Plastic (bulk) packaging, as part of GMP, plays an important role in preserving and guaranteeing the quality of APIs after production.
APIs in solid format (powders) are often sensitive to moisture, should not come into contact with other chemicals and typically dislike any form of contamination. Clean bulk packaging, made of food-safe material with a barrier against moisture, is therefore preferred by the industry. CurTec drums, pails and jars fulfill these criteria.
