Abstract

The present invention relates to a multi-functional pharmaceutical package surface and a method of preparing a multi-functional pharmaceutical package surface. In particular, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical package having a protein deterrent and lubricious surface and methods of preparing said surface by applying coatings directly to the pharmaceutical package that (a) reduce the adsorption of proteins onto pharmaceutical packaging while not affecting the activity of the protein solution and (b) provide a lubricious surface. The pharmaceutical package surface may also contain a barrier coating. Coatings can be deposited on a variety of pharmaceutical packaging materials and configurations by various methods.
