Exam 3 Flashcards
What are suppositories systematic action
Drugs delivered via suppositories bypasses the hepatic first pass metabolism
Physiological factors of suppositories
Colonic content: disssolve before being absorbed
pH: 7 to 8
Physio-chemical factors of suppositories
Partition co-efficient: how quickly the drug leaves the suppository
Particle size: undissolved drug has to be reduced

Buffer room
Area with limited access that is designated for compounding and packaging of compounded sterile preparations and is engineered to meet or exceed class 10,000 standards
Anteroom
Area adjacent to the buffer room that reduces traffic around the buffer room doors and is engineered to meet or exceed class 100,000 standards

Horizontal/Vertical Laminar Airflow Workbench
Provides no less than a Class 100 working environment for sterile compounding
Zone of turbulence
-Air turbulence created inside the critical area by the introduction of an object in the direct path of the first air
-When laminar airflow is moving on all sides of an object, the zone extends ~3X the diameter
-When placed adjacent to a vertical wall, zone of turbulence os created that may extend 6X diameter of object
