Explanation:
Objective: The present work focuses on sterility studies of prepared aciclovir ocusert which is so essential for ophthalmic preparations. According to Indian Pharmacopoeia, the sterility test was performed. Ocuserts are sterile preparations which are placed into cul-de-sac or conjunctival sac. Ophthalmic inserts offer many advantages over conventional dosage forms such as increased ocular residence time, possibility of releasing drugs at a slow and constant rate and accurate dosing. Ocuserts are formulated for treating external ocular diseases such as conjuctivitis, corneal ulcer, and keratoconjuctivitis. Ophthalmic preparations contaminated with microorganisms cause corneal damage and finally blindness, especially if the microorganism is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ophthalmic preparations should be manufactured in aseptic condition and to be sterilized before packing.
