Question

What type of glass is not used for parenteral preparation?

Answer 1

Regular soda-lime glass is not typically used for parenteral preparation. Soda-lime glass has a higher expansion rate and is more prone to thermal stress and breakage when exposed to rapid temperature changes, such as those encountered during sterilization. Therefore, it is not considered suitable for the stringent requirements of parenteral (injectable) preparations, where stability and integrity of the container are crucial.
