Q

Properties of Good Suspension

A

a. Particle size of the suspension should remain fairly constant throughout long periods of undisturbed standing
b. Dispersed particles of the suspension should settle slowly & should be readily redispersed upon gentle shaking of the container
c. The suspension should pour readily & evenly from its container

Q

Dispersed systems in which the dispersed phase is composed of small globules of a liquid distributed throughout a vehicle in which it is immiscible.

A

Emulsion

20
Q

Components of Emulsions

A

Dispersed Phase: Internal Phase / Discontinuous Phase
Dispersion Medium: External Phase / Continuous Phase
Emulsifying Agent

21
Q

Purposes of Emulsions

A

Increased drug solubility
Increased drug stability
Prolonged drug action
Improved taste
Improved appearance

22
Q

Types of Emulsion

A
  • Oil in water (o/w)
  • Water in oil (w/o)
  • Multiple Emulsion – w/o/w or o/w/o
  • Microemulsion – transparent; most stable
23
Q

Oil is dispersed as droplets in an aqueous medium & external washable products

A

Oil-in-Water (O/W) Emulsion

24
Q

Used for external preparations when emollient, lubricating, or protective properties are desired

A

Water-in-Oil (W/O)

25
Q

Transparent & have droplet diameter in the nanometer size range; Thermodynamically stable

A

Microemulsion

26
Q

Factors that determine Emulsion Type

A

(1) Emulsifier - Some emulsifiers form either w/o or w/o emulsion, others form only one type

(2) Phase Ratio (relative amounts of oil & water) - Phase present in greater concentration tens to be the external phase.

(3) Order of Mixing - The phase that is being added by portions tends to be internal phase

27
