CM Quiz 1 Flashcards
Liquid preparation containing one or more chemical substances dissolved in a suitable solvent or mixture of mutually miscible solvents.
Solution
This substance dissolves the other component in a solution.
Solvent
These are mainly liquid components added to a formulation to increase solubility of preparations that aren’t very soluble to the required level.
Co-solvent
The amount of solute is lesser than the amount of solvent in a solution.
True
The solute and solvent can be in any state of matter-liquid, solid or gas
True
This is a method of production of solutions wherein solute and solvent are dissolved and a sufficient amount of solvent is added to attain the desired volume.
Simple solutions
This is a heterogeneous system consisting of two phases in which an internal phase is dispersed uniformly throughout the external phase.
Suspension
Insoluble materials used in the formulation of suspensions are levigated/grinded to a smooth paste with a vehicle containing the wetting agent.
True
This is used in the small-scale production of suspensions. It is made of either glass, hardwood ceramic or hardstone.
Mortar and pestle
Pharmaceutical preparation composed of finely divided particles administered internally or applied externally.
Powder
All particles pass through a No.40 sieve,and not more than 40% pass through a No. 80 sieve.
Moderately Coarse Powder
All particles pass through sieve No: 80. There is no limit to greater fineness.
Very fine powder
The process of grinding an insoluble substance to a fine powder while wet.
LEVIGATION
Widely used method for the production of tablets. This utilizes adhesive substances such as binders.
Wet granulation
Method used when the tablet excipients have sufficient binding properties.
Dry Granulation
This is a solid, convenient and inexpensive pharmaceutical preparation made of active ingredients and excipients. This can be administered orally, sublingually, buccal or in other body orifices.
Tablet
This method of tablet preparation is considered as the cheapest and does not require alteration of the materials to be used.
Direct compression
Tablets that contain substances which release gas in contact with water.
Effervescent
Tablet that is intended to be administered below the tongue for better absorption.
Sublingual
This enhances the flow of materials into tablet dies.
Glidant
This pharmaceutical preparation encapsulates the active ingredient and excipients in a cap and body.
Hard gel capsule
This is the largest capsule size used for humans.
000
The smallest capsule size for human use.
5
Capsule shells are usually made up of which material?
Gelatin
This substance aids in the breakup and distribution of the capsule’s contents
Disintegrants
