Semisolids constitute a significant proportion of pharmaceutical dosage forms. They serve as carriers for drugs that are topically delivered by way of the skin, cornea, rectal tissue, nasal mucosa, vagina, buccal tissue, urethral membrane, and external ear lining.
SEMISOLID DOSAGE FORMS
53
They are normally presented in the form of creams, gels, ointments, or pastes. They contain one or more active ingredients dissolved or uniformly dispersed in a suitable base and any suitable excipients such as emulsifiers, viscosity increasing agents, anti microbial agents, antioxidants’, or stabilizing agents.
TOPICAL SEMISOLID DOSAGE FORMS
54
It contains very limited quantities of a liquid or aqueous phase.
SEMISOLID DOSAGE FORMS
55
Surface pH can be measured by using a:
SIMPLE PH METER PROBE-TYPE PH METER
56
If the formulation is thick, the pH can be measured by
DILUTING IT WITH DISTILLED WATER
57
These are plastic in behavior hence they retain their shape on application of outside force.
SEMISOLID DOSAGE FORMS

CONTINUOUS PHASE (EXTERNAL) DISPERSED PHASE (INTERNAL)
59
Examples of Continuous (External) Phase
SUPPOSITORIES PESSARIES
60
Examples of Dispersed (Internal) Phase
CREAM OINTMENT PASTE
61
The physical properties of the dosage form depend upon various factors:
- SIZE OF THE DISPERSED PARTICLES - INTERFACIAL TENSION BETWEEN PHASES - PARTITION COEFFICIENT OF THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT BETWEEN THE PHASES AND PRODUCT RHEOLOGY
62
Advantage of semi-solid dosage form:
• It is used externally • Probability of side effect can be reduce • Local action • First pass gut and hepatic metabolism is avoided. • Patient compliance is increased, the drug termination is problematic cases is facilitated as compared with other routes of drug administration.
63
Disadvantages of semi-solid dosage form:
• There is no dosage accuracy in this type of dosage form • The base which is used in the semi-solid dosage form can be easily oxidized. • If we go out after using semi-solid dosage form problems can occur.
64
These are homogenous, semi-solid preparations intended for external application to the skin or mucous membrane. They are used as emollients or for the application of active ingredients to the skin for protective, therapeutic, or prophylactic purpose and where a degree of occlusion is desired.
OINTMENTS
65
These are semisolid preparations for external application to skin or mucous membranes. Their composition softens but does not melt upon application to the skin. - Therapeutically, it functions as skin protectives and emollients, but they are used primarily as vehicles for the topical application of drug substances.
OINTMENTS
66
Types of Ointments
HYDROPHOBIC OINTMENT WATER-EMULSIFYING OINTMENT HYDROPHILIC OINTMENT
67
These are usually anhydrous and can absorb only small amounts of water. Typical bases used for their formulation are water-insoluble hydrocarbons such as hard, soft and liquid paraffin, vegetable oil, animal fats, waxes, synthetic glycerides and polyalkyl siloxanes.
HYDROPHOBIC (LIPOPHILIC) OINTMENTS
68
It can absorb large amounts of water. They typically consist of a hydrophobic fatty base in which a w/o agent, such as wool fat, wool alcohols, sorbitan esters, mono glycerides, or fatty alcohols can be incorporated to render them hydrophilic.
WATER-EMULSIFYING OINTMENT
69
They may also be w/o emulsions that allow additional quantities of aqueous solutions to be incorporated. Such ointments are used especially when formulating aqueous liquids or solutions.
WATER-EMULSIFYING OINTMENT
70
Its bases are miscible with water. The bases are usually mixture of liquid and solid polyethylene glycols (macrogols).
HYDROPHILIC OINTMENT
71
These are homogeneous, semi-solid preparations consisting of opaque emulsion systems. Their consistency and rheological properties depend on the type of emulsion, either water-in-oil (w/o) or oil-in –water (o/w), and on the nature of the solids in the internal phase.
CREAMS
72
They are intended for the application to the skin or certain mucous membranes for protective, therapeutic, or prophylactic purposes, especially where an occlusive effect is not necessary.
CREAMS
73
These are semisolid dosage forms that contain one or more drug substances dissolved or dispersed in a suitable base, usually oil in- water emulsion or aqueous microcrystalline dispersion of long-chain fatty acids or alcohols that are water washable and are cosmetically and aesthetically acceptable.
CREAMS
74
These are usually homogeneous, clear, semi-solid preparation consisting of a liquid phase within a three-dimensional polymeric matrix with physical or sometimes chemical cross linkage by means of suitable gelling agents.
GELS
75
These are semisolid systems that consist of either suspensions of small inorganic particles or large organic molecules interpenetrated by a liquid.
GELS
76
Its bases usually consist of liquid paraffin with polyethylene or fatty oils gelled with colloidal silica or aluminium or zinc soaps.
HYDROPHOBIC GEL (OLEOGEL)
77
Its bases usually consist of water, glycerol, or propylene glycol gelled with suitable agents such as tragacanth, starch, cellulose derivatives, carboxyvinyl polymers, and magnesium aluminium silicates.
HYDROPHILIC GEL (HYDROGEL)
78
These are homogeneous, semi-solid preparations containing high concentrations of insoluble powdered substances (usually not less than 20%) dispersed in a suitable base.
PASTES
79
These are usually less greasy, more absorptive, and stiffer in consistency than ointments because of the large quantity of powdered ingredients present. Some pastes consist of a single phase, such as hydrated pectin, and others consist of a thick, rigid material that does not flow at body temperature.
PASTES
80
These are semisolid dosage forms that contain one or more drug substances incorporated in a base with large proportions of finely dispersed solids.
PASTES
81
It is an ancient form of topical medication also known as a cataplasma. It is a soft mass of vegetable constituents or clay, usually heated before application.
POULTICES
82
It is prepared by mixing and heating dried, heavy kaolin and boric acid with glycerine.
KAOLIN POULTICE BP
83
Its purpose is to provide evidence on how the quality of a drug substance or drug product varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, and to establish a re-test period for the drug substance or a shelf life for the drug product and recommended storage conditions.
STABILITY TESTING
84
