Pharmaceutical requirements

Sterility

• Sterilization, as applied to pharmaceutical preparations, means

destruction of all living organisms and their spores or their complete

removal from the preparation.
• All parenteral preparations are sterile preparations. The requirement

for sterility is vital as the method of administration of these products
bypasses the body’s natural defense barriers.
