Q
  1. You intend to make a sulfadiazine suspension. The particle size of sulfadiazine as received is 26ȝm, and water
    with a density of 1 g/mL is currently used as a vehicle. In order to reduce the settling velocity of drug particles in
    suspension, the following can be done. What is LEAST relevant?
    A: Particle size is reduced to 5 ˩m by micronization.
    B: A sorbitol solution with a viscosity of 110 cps is used instead of water.
    C: Diluted bentonite magma (clay) is added to reduce repulsive forces between the drug particles.
    D: A sorbitol solution with a density of 1.3 g/mL is used as a suspension vehicle.
A

C: Diluted bentonite magma (clay) is added to reduce repulsive forces between the drug particles.

21
Q
  1. The following describes different approaches to formulate a suspension product with a long shelf-life. One of them employs a different principle than the others. Which one is it?
    A. A: Reduce the repulsive forces between drug particles to form floccules.
    B: Electrolytes, clay, or surface-active agents are used to create a secondary minimum in the potential energy vs. particle distance plot.
    C: The suspension may settle fast, but the sediment is loose and easy to redisperse.
    D: The suspension is very thick and does not allow settling of drug particles when undisturbed but becomes fluid when shaken
A

D: The suspension is very thick and does not allow settling of drug particles when undisturbed but becomes fluid when shaken

22
