AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to effectively reduce or remove N-nitroso compounds in pharmaceutical and food packaging, leading to increased health risks, and traditional methods may affect the preparation or storage conditions of pharmaceutical compositions.
A headspace not occupied by a pharmaceutical dosage form is formed in the outer shell of the pharmaceutical package and filled with activated carbon or a derivative thereof to adsorb and reduce or inhibit the formation of N-nitroso compounds.
By using activated carbon or its derivatives in the headspace of pharmaceutical packaging, the formation and concentration of N-nitroso compounds can be significantly reduced, meeting government regulatory standards and reducing patient exposure risks.
