The first choice for drug self-administration

Therapies requiring frequent injections over a long time are having a tremendous impact on the lives of patients. This impact can be eased by enabling the patient to self-administer the prescribed drug with the help of a pen or autoinjector. The primary packaging of choice for the self-administration of drugs is pharmaceutical cartridges from SCHOTT Pharma.

Advantages

High drug stability and consistent performance

SCHOTT Pharma’s TopLine and StandardLine Cartridges are both made using FIOLAX® Type I Borosilicate Glass, which offers high chemical resistance for exceptional drug stability. This ensures that medications have a long shelf life and remain fully effective when they are required.

SCHOTT Pharma's range of cartridges also offers high cosmetic quality, which leads to a reduction of rejects during the final inspection, as well as precise geometrical tolerances. This enables a consistently reliable performance and a perfect fit for the device.

SCHOTT TopLine cartridges are available as ready-to-use

Small batches of personalized medications and high-value pharmaceuticals often present challenges for fill-and-finish operations. Not only do they require higher quality containers, but they also require more flexibility, with frequent switching between different medications to avoid costly waste.

Available in a pre-washed and pre-sterilized ready-to-use (RTU) configuration, SCHOTT Pharma’s TopLine cartridges can be processed on a variety of new and existing fill-and-finish lines, keeping cartridges nested throughout the process.
