摘要
Exposure to cytotoxic drugs is of great concern today. Special regulations for handling these drugs during preparation and administration have been implemented in most countries. Concern has also been raised as to whether exposure to these drugs can occur due to contaminated drug vials. In this investigation, wipe samples were taken from drug vials used for platinum-containing drugs, e.g. cisplatin and related drugs. The vials were randomly picked from unbroken packages from different manufacturers. The results showed that drug vials may already be contaminated on the outside when delivered from the manufacturer.
