        abstract = {Pharmaceutical packaging encompasses a range of components designed to protect medicinal products from production to consumption. Recent forecasts indicate substantial growth in the global pharmaceutical packaging market, driven by rising consumer demand for healthcare information and innovations aimed at enhancing patient convenience. Advances in packaging technology, including blow-fill-seal (BFS) vials, child-resistant packs, prefilled syringes, and track-and-trace systems, underscore the industry's progress. Key innovations address safety, usability, and counterfeit prevention, employing both covert and overt features like holograms and RFID technology. Child-resistant and tamper-evident packaging designs are crucial for safeguarding against accidental ingestion and tampering. Eco-friendly packaging is gaining traction, aligning with sustainability goals while maintaining functionality. Additionally, advancements in dispensers—such as smart dispensing systems, personalized solutions, and safety-enhanced designs—are improving medication management by leveraging technologies like IoT, AI, and biometric authentication. Robotics in pharmaceutical packaging further enhances efficiency and reduces space requirements. Overall, these developments reflect a transformative shift towards more secure, effective, and user-friendly medication delivery systems, poised to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare distribution.},
