Methods of Preparation:
Hand rolling
Compression
Fusion
It has the advantage of avoiding the
necessity of heating the cocoa butter
oldest and simplest
Hand rolling
- Mixture is forced into a special compression mold; Useful for heat
labile drugs
Compression
Melted mixture (drug and base) are
poured into mold using mineral oil as
lubricant
Fusion method

Compounding exercise no. 7
Determination of amount of BASE to be used
- (a) dosage replacement factor
- (b) density factor
- (c) occupied volume methods
→A portion of the suppository base is melted, poured
into the suppository mold and allowed to congeal.
The suppositories are removed from the mold, and
the total weight of the suppositories is determined.
Determine the weight of the blank suppository
