Liquid Dosage Forms 10 Flashcards
1
Q
Liquid Dosage Forms
A
-
Solutions
- Clear / in solution
- *solubility
- Colloids
-
Suspensions
- not soluble
- matrix, suspends unsoluble drug
- Emulsions
-
Other
- Parenteral products
2
Q
Pharmaceutical principles
A
-
Solvents and solubility
- Non-Polar Solvents = MINERAL OIL
- Semi-Polar Solvents = Ethanol / GLycols
- Polar solvents = water
-
Solvent Categories
- based on their dipole moment / polarity of solvent
-
Solubility Generalizations
- ability of sulute to form HYDROGEN BONDS with solvent is very important in determining solubility
- soluble drugs desirble for GI obsorption
- Solubility application to dosage form design /prep
- Dispersion size
3
Q
Solvent Categories
A
-
Polar Solvents = Water
- High Polarity / High Dielectric Constant / High Dipole Moment
-
Semipolar Solvents = Ethanol / Glycols
- Intermediate everything
-
NON-polar Solvents = Mineral Oil
- low everything
4
Q
Solutions Plus What =
A
-
Surfactant
- = micellular dispersion
-
Surfactant
-
+ Surfactant & insoluble drug
- = liposome
-
+ Surfactant & Oil
- = emulsion
-
+ Insoluble drug
- = Suspension

9
Q
Suspensions
A
-
Stoke’s Law
- Determines velocity of SEDEMENTATION
-
Brownian Motion
- only affects particles <5 um in size
-
Inactive Ingredients

Q
Aerosol Inhalation
Flovent
A
- Considered a SUSPENSION even WITHOUT SUSPENDING AGENT
- bc powder is MICRONIZED ~1um
- does not need suspension
- Due to BROWNIAN MOTION
