Q

Why are gels used?

A

Enhanced viscocity allows a modified-release of the active substance(s) at the site of injection

20
Q

What are implants?

A

Sterile solid preperations containing one or more active ingridient

21
Q

Why are implants used?

A

Provides release of the active ingridient over an extended period of time

22
Q

Manufacturing of implants

A

Manufactured via:
(1) Titanium
(2) Silicone
(3) Polymers

23
Q

Routes of administration - angles and location

A

(1) Intramuscular - 90° - Into muscle
(2) Subcutaneous - 45° - Into subcutaenous tissue
(3) Intravenous - 25° - Into veins
(4) Intradermal - 10° - Into dermis

24
Q

Erros in administration

A

(1) Wrong route - IV instead of IM
(2) Wrong preparation - diluted in wrong solvent
(3) Wrong drug
(4) Wrong dose - decimal point/calculation error
(5) Wrong time
(6) Omission of drug

25
Q

Where are parental porducts manufactured
?

A

Clean room - terminally sterilised or aseptically prepared

26
Q

Why do parental products need to be sterile?

A

Microorganisms and oyrogens may bypass the bodys natural defence system and barriers going directly into blood stream or tissue - patients may be immunocomprimised, require nutrition, age compromised

27
Q

Solutions must be ___ of ____ ____ and ___ number of ___ ___ particles

A

In suspensions particles __ __ __ but not delivered ___

28
Q

What happens if particles are found in parental products?

A

Can lodge capilliries resulting in pulmanory embolism

29
Q

What vehicles are used in parental products?

A

Water for injection
co-solvents (aid solubility in porly soluble drugs)
solubilizing agents (aid dissolution eg. cyclodextrins)
Oil in water (water insoluble drugs)
Oil (intramuscular injections for modified release)

30
Q

purpose of preservatives in parental products

A

To inhibit growth of microorganisms introduced into multi-dose products
co-solvents can also exhibit microbal effects

31
Q

Why are antioxidants involved in parental products?

A

oxidation - displacing oxygen with nitrogen gas
antioxidants - vitamin C and E, sulphate salts
Hydrolysis - removes all water

32
Q

What ranges should the pH be for parental products and why?

A

pH must be between 3.0 - 9.0 so it is not too acidic or basic

33
Q

How is pH maintained in parental products?

A

Buffers are used to maintain pH (eg. citric acid, sodium citrate)
acidifying or alkalizing agents (eg. hydrochloric acid / sodium hydroxide)

34
Q

Purpose of suspending agents in parental products?

A

Ensures drug is readily and uniformly suspended prior to administration
eg. water soluble cellulose derivitives (methylcellulose)

35
Q

Injections and infusions should be made ___ with ___ ___

A

Injections and infusions should be made isotonic with humsn plasma

36
Q

Osmosis:

A

the movement of water from a lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane

37
Q

Tonicity adjustment agents

A

Used so injectin/infusion is isotnoic with human plasma
eg. 0.9& sodium chloride solution (osmolarity 286 mmol/L) = Isotonic with human plasma (osmolarity 280-295 mmol / kg)

38
Q

What is meant by hypotonic

A

(1) Lower solute concentration (higher water concentration
(2) Lower osmotic pressure than blood plasma - water driven into cells by osmosis - Cell burst - Pain
(3) counter by adding sodium chloride/dextrose
(4) Restore cell volums by adding Saline`

39
Q

What is meant by isotonic?

A

Same conentration of solute in solution and blood plasma - same osmotic pressure - no osmosis

40
Q

what is meant by hypertonic?

A

(1) Higher solute concentration (lower water concentration)
(2) Higher osmotic pressure than blood plasma - water driven out of cells via osmosis - shrink - pain

41
Q

Packaging of Vials

A

(1) Volume - 5-100ml
(2) Glass with reusable self sealing rubber closure, plastic dust cap
(3) Multiple use - preservative

42
Q

Packagine Ampoules

A

(1) small volume - <1-10ml
(2) Glass or plastic
(3) Single use -unpreserved
(4) Open neck, selaed after filling

43
Q

Packaging Prefilled syringe

A

(1) Small volume - 0.5 - 20ml
(2) Glass or plastic-base prefilled syringe and their corresponding syringe
(3) Convenient, affordable, sterile, safe

44
Q

Packaging Infusion bags/bottles

A

(1) Volume (100-1000ml)
(2) Glass bottles, plastic collapsible bags, semi-ridged plastic bottles
(3) Addititve ports
(4) Single use

45
Q

What are the disadvantages of Parental products?

A

(1) Patient compliance
(2) Painful/stressful (needle phobia)
(3) Expensive
(4) stringent require for manufacture
(5) Professional administration
