[Object] To provide a means manufacturing a medical vial which contains a Type IA borosilicate glass as the raw material and in which the elution amount of silica into a high ionic strength solution decreases to be equal to or less than the silica elution amount in a Type IB borosilicate glass.[Solution] A method for manufacturing a medical vial is a method for manufacturing a medical vial including a fire blast process of applying a flame ejected from a point burner to a deteriorated layer generated on the inner surface of a vial, in which the vial is molded from a glass tube containing a Type IA borosilicate glass as the raw material and the molar ratio of oxides contained in the borosilicate glass satisfies ψ=0.23±0.02 in ψ=[(Na2O+K2O)—；Al2O3]/B2O3 and satisfies β=7.5±0.5 in β=B2O3/Al2O3.
