From Packaging to Product – The Hidden Chemistry Behind Medicine Safety

  • When safe medicines turn risky – the invisible interaction between drugs and packaging
  • From a historic case to today’s challenges with extractables and leachables
  • Real lab insights – why every manufacturer must take packaging compatibility seriously

Short background: Even the safest medicine can turn risky if its packaging isn’t as harmless as it looks. This talk takes you from the historic case that changed drug safety forever – when a rubber stopper caused a rare blood disorder – to the invisible chemistry happening between medicines and their containers today. Through real examples from their laboratory, Ofichem Uppsala will show how hidden substances can migrate from packaging into drugs, and why extractables and leachables testing is essential for every manufacturer.
