A liquid formulation of an ophthalmic drug in a pre-filled pharmaceutical package, for example a syringe, cartridge, vial or any other vessel made in part or in whole of a thermoplastic polymer, coated on the interior with a tie coating or layer, a barrier coating or layer, a pH protective coating or layer, and optionally a lubricity coating or layer. A blister, a pouch, a bag, a tray or a tub may encompass as a secondary packaging the syringe, vial, cartridge, tube or any other vessel. The package is suitable for sterilization (e.g., surface and/or terminal sterilization) with sterilization gas residuals being minimal and/or lower than required by ISO 10993-7; and/or the stability of the ophthalmic drug is maintained, during a prolonged time period following the sterilization. The sterilization gas may be EO, propylene oxide, chlorine dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, or vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP), among others.

A coated glass article and methods for producing the same are provided herein. The coated glass article includes a glass body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface is an exterior surface of the glass body, and a damage-resistant coating formed by atomic layer deposition, the damage-resistant coating being disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the glass body.

Container precursors are provided that have a wall of glass. The wall of glass at least partially encloses an interior volume. The wall of glass has a side that faces away from the interior volume. The side is at least partially superimposed by a plurality of particles. An arrangement is also provided that includes a packaging and a multitude of the container precursors. A process for preparing a functionalised container precursor is also provided. A process for packaging pharmaceutical compositions and closed containers obtainable by this process are provided.
