Ampoules Anti-Counterfeiting (AC) Pharmaceutical glass ampoules for enhanced protection against drug counterfeiting

Overview

Ampoules Anti-Counterfeiting (AC) safeguard against drug counterfeiting

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 10% of drugs sold globally may be counterfeit, often containing incorrect dosages or missing active ingredients. SCHOTT Pharma’s Ampoules Anti-Counterfeiting (AC) provide a vital tool for pharmaceutical companies to combat the potential threats and costs of drug counterfeiting, while protecting patient health.

During manufacture, the glass ampoule is printed with ink containing light-emitting particles to create identification rings, OPC dots, or text. Only visible by using a special reader, these marks ensure drug authenticity.

Made of Type I Borosilicate Glass and available in StandardLine quality, Ampoules AC meet the high standards of the Defect Evaluation List (DEL). Ultimately, these glass ampoules not only protect patient health and safeguard intellectual property, but they guarantee the protection of reputation and revenue for pharmaceutical companies.

Crucial protection for delicate medicines
