DEF

Opération consistant à mettre un produit pharmaceutique dans un contenant à dose unitaire. On lui associera une bonne présentation pour la vente.

OBS

[...] les présentations souples [...] sont couramment utilisées dans l'industrie pharmaceutique pour le conditionnement de comprimés, dragées, suppositoires, gélules [...] Elles isolent unitairement le contenu dans des alvéoles créés entre deux films par des mâchoires chauffantes qui soudent leur pourtour. Ainsi, chaque unité de prise est protégée jusqu'à l'utilisation finale.
