Classification of Cutaneous Sensitizers in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Gian Bechter

Cutaneous sensitizers, substances capable of inducing allergic reactions upon skin contact, play a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This abstract provides an overview of the classification of cutaneous sensitizers within the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must be diligent in identifying and categorizing these sensitizers to ensure the safety and well-being of workers and consumers. This classification is imperative as it aids in risk assessment, hazard communication, and the development of appropriate safety measures. In this context, we explore the various categories of cutaneous sensitizers, including natural extracts, synthetic chemicals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Furthermore, we delve into the methods and testing protocols employed to determine the sensitizing potential of these substances. Understanding the classification of cutaneous sensitizers is essential for regulatory compliance, product labeling, and minimizing adverse health effects. This abstract underscores the importance of vigilance in pharmaceutical manufacturing to safeguard the health of those involved in the production and utilization of pharmaceutical products
