Dispersed System Flashcards
Study of flow characteristics
Rheology
System that contains substance distributed and vehicle
Dispersed system
3 classification of dispersion
Coarse dispersion, Fine dispersion, Colloids
Particles usually 10-50 um in size
Coarse dispersion
Particle size is 0.5-10 um
Fine dispersion
Particles are in colloidal range (1 nm-0.5 um)
Colloids
A coarse dispersion of finely divided drug particles called suspensoid distributed uniformly throughout a vehicle
Suspension
Example of oral suspension which includes Mylanta, Riopan, Maalox, Gaviscon
Antacids
Example of oral suspension which include Antiminth and Mintezol
Anthelmintics
Example of oral suspension which includes Chloromycetin and Ilosone
Antibacterial (Antibiotics)
Example of oral suspension which includes Mandelamine, Bactrim, Septra Gantanol, and Gantrisin
Antibacterial (Non-antibiotic anti-infectives)
Example of oral suspension which includes Mysoline
Anticonvulsants
Example of oral suspension which includes Pepto-Bismol liquid
Antidiarrheal
Example of oral suspension which includes Mylicone
Antiflatulent
Example of oral suspension which includes Nystatin and Grifulvin
Antifungals
Example of oral suspension which includes Aldomet
Antihypertensive
Example of oral suspension which includes Vistaril and Mellaril-S
Antipsychotics, Sedatives, Antiemetic
Example of oral suspension which includes Diuril
Diuretic
Example of oral suspension which includes Indocin
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory
Counteracts the effects of gastric hyperacidity
Antacid oral suspension
Includes preparations of antibiotic substances
Antibacterial oral suspension
Assist in the suspension of the dispersed phase
Suspending agents
Increase the viscosity of water by binding water molecules
Hydrophilic colloids
Silicates that are anionic in aqueous dispersion; exhibit thixotrophy
Clays
Semisolid preparation made up of small inorganic and large organic matter interpenetrated by liquid
Gels
Are a combination of mineral oils and heavy hydrocarbon waxes with a molecular weight of about 1300
Jelene/Plastibase
Are gels in which the structural content matrix contains a high proportion of liquid, usually water
Jellies
Taking up a certain amount of liquid without increase in volume
Inbibition
Taking up of liquid by a gel with an increase in volume
Swelling
The dispersing medium is squeezed out in droplets and the gel shrinks
Syneresis
Reversible-gel-sol formation with no change in volume/temperature
Thixotrophy
Liquid is removed from a gel and only the framework remains
Xerogel
2 general classification of gels
Inorganic hydrogels, Organic gels
Has two phase system such as aluminum hydroxide gel and bentonite magma
Inorganic hydrogels
Has a single phase system and include gelling agents such as carbomer and tragacanth
Organic gels
Are gels that have ingredients that are dispersible as colloidals or soluble in water
Hydrogels
Are gels that have hydrocarbons, animal and vegetable fats, soap base greases, and the hydrophilic organogels
Organogels
Are liquid suspensions intended for external application
Lotion
2 ways of preparing lotions
Trituration, Chemical reaction
Mortar used for unstainable substance
Porcelain mortar
Mortar used for stainable substance
Glass mortar
Are suspensions containing bigger particles as compared to gels and lotions
Magmas/Milk
3 types of suspensions
Gels, Lotions, Magmas
2 ways of preparing magmas
Hydration, Chemical reaction
Is made by reacting bismuth subnitrate with nitric acid and ammonium carbonate with ammonium solution
Milk of bismuth
Are pressured dosage forms containing one or more active ingredients upon actuation emit a fine dispersion of liquid and/or solid materials in gaseous medium
Aerosols
