sterile injectable drugs

Sterile injectable drugs are medications prepared in a way that eliminates all microorganisms, ensuring they are free from bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. These drugs are administered directly into the body through injections or infusion, requiring strict manufacturing and handling procedures to maintain their sterility. They are used in hospitals and clinics for immediate effect, precise dosing, or when oral medications are ineffective. Ensuring sterility is crucial to prevent infections and ensure patient safety. Examples include vaccines, insulin, and certain cancer treatments.
