PHARMD GURU Page 1 STERILE FORMULATIONS – LARGE AND SMALL VOLUME PARENTERALS PARENTERALS:  Parenterals are those pharmaceutical products that are given by other than oral route. TYPES OF PARENTERALS: Parenterals are mainly classified into two types. They are: 1. Small volume parenterals and 2. Large volume parenterals. SMALL VOLUME PARENTERALS:  An injection that is packed in a container and labeled as containing 100ml or less is known as small volume parenterals.  All the sterile products packed in vials, ampoules, cartridges, syringes, bottles or any other container that is 100ml or less, fall under the class of small volume parenterals.  Ophthalmic products packed in squeezable plastic containers, although topically applied to the eye rather than administered by injection, also fall under the classification of small volume injections as long as the container size is 100ml or less.  Small volume parenteral aqueous solutions can be administered by intravenous route because of local irritation.  Small volume parenteral products can be formulated and packed in several ways and include a wide variety of products like: a) Pharmaceutical products. b) Biological products. c) Allergic products. d) Radiopharmaceutical products.
