Gels Flashcards
Sodium algenate
Use to produce ointment gels and percentages higher that]n 2.5%=firm gel
Hydrogels 2 examples
Silica
Alumina
Sodium CMC
Methyl cellulose
Organogels examples
Hydrocarbon type
Animal fats
Soaps and greases
What is potralatum
Semi-solid pro-substance
Has crystalline and waxy fraction
((Stabilizer/thickener))
Hydrophilic organogels
Polyethylene glycols: (carbowaxes) 75% soluble Stable and feels like petrolatum Jellies :: Has high coherent matrix of liquid(usually water)
———and——— are thickening agents to aqueous solutions that make cleaaar and unifooorm aqueous
Carboxymethyl cellulose and traganth
A self despersed natural colloid
Acacia
Gelling agent: ALGENIC acid
Tastless/odorless/from seaweed
Swell 200-300 times without dissolving by water
Yellowish white color
1%-5% thickening agent in gels
Procedure 30min in water and vigourosly mix
Ca++ salt is added for viscousty by cross-linking
Bentonite magma (Suspending agent)
Thixotropic somewhat4%+
12 times swell
What
Alkaline environment and suspending is drastically decreased if reached less than 7 ph
Aluminum hydroxide
Made of AlCl+Al(alum)= Aluminum Oxide+Aluminum OH Insoluble. +precepitate ————————— Interfers with tetracylclens (trivalent cation) That is why it should be staggered with tetracyclens Bioavalibility by chelating in GI tract Avoid freezing and keep in tight container 10ml dose (cause instepation) MAO:coat inflammed gastric Good for peptic ulcer and hyperacidity Sweetners might be added
Corbomer resins (carbopol)
1955 controlled release topical gels and oral suspension
High M.wt pentaerythritol -cross linked acrylic acid-
Modified with c10-30 alkyl acrylates
Fluffy white powders
Ph 1% water 2.5-3
When neutralizer is added it can grow 1k
20%alcohol we add NaOH or KOH
IN 50%alcohol we add triethanoleamine
0-80k cp viscosity
Caromer 910,934,934p,940
910 low concentrations
934 highly effective in thick viscous
934p for oral use
940 the most efficient
What is the effect of alcohol in carbomer gel
Decrease clarity and viscousty
Can be overcomed by the addition of carbomer
What ph has highest clarity and maximum viscosty in carbomer
7 ph
But 4-11 is acceptable
Milk of magnisia(opaque white)
Antacid 10 ph preparation
5ml to 10MeQ dose is enough15 TO EXCESSIVE HYPERACID CONDITIONS
7%to8.5% magnesium hydroxide
Made by reaction of NaOH+MgSO4
Then wash to remove sodium sulfate before adding water to needed volume
-it will separate on standing
Might cause diarrehea so we add aluminum hydroxide with it
30-60ml bedtime dose
Stored tight in 0-35c
Freezing cause in coarsening of disperse phase
