[india-drug] Regarding LVPF (Large Volume Parenteral Fluids)

["dr.rajendra kumar" <drrkpaty@hotmail.com>]

   Dear All,

   Orissa  is  preparing  the revised Essential Drug List-2004. Regarding
   the manufacturing technology of Large Volume Parenteral Fluids (LVPF),
   there  are  two  types i.e.,  FORM-FILL-SEAL  (FFS) and BLOW-FILL-SEAL
   (BFS).

   FFS  is  automatic  & continuous process whereas BFS is semiautomatic
   and non-continuous process as per Schedule-M of Drug & Cosmetics Act.

   I  want  to  know  which is the better technology & Why ?
   What is the experience of other States in procurement of LVPF ?
