Drug packaging materials polyethylene containers

Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have now taken to packaging their drug product in plastic containers. The plastics used most in these applications are those manufactured from polyethylene and polypropylene, though other materials have also been used. Since both polyethylene and polypropylene contain extremely small amounts of additives (mostly as antioxidants and antistatic agents), the possibility of their release in sufficient concentrations to endanger to patient is negligible.
