Pharmaceutics 3 Flashcards
What’s types of coating equipments ?
The Standard coating pan
The perforated coating pan

Enteric coating acid resistance
Mention standard coating pan modifications
The Pellegrini pan
The immersion sword

What’s the worst shape for coating tablets ?
Square flat- faced tablets
True or false Q: tablets properties tablets must be rough to coated ?
False, should have smooth surface
In tablets properties : what’s the best shape to coated tablets ?
Spherical shape
In tablets properties : what’s the best shape to coated tablets ?
Spherical shape
Why’s the sphere is best shape to coated tablets ?
Because 1) it’s allows tablets to rolls freely in the coating pan
And 2) have minimal contact
Why is square flat-faced is the worst shape ?
Because in coating materials would collect btw the surface to glue them together

Notes : increase temperatures will increase capacity to evaporate water or solvent
Coating application depends on
1) spray rate
2) composition of the coating solution
3) droplets size produced ( pressure ,flow rate , viscosity)
4) tablets surface area
5) pan speed

False
Increase of pressure will decrease droplets size
Decrease of viscosity will decrease droplets size ? True or false
True
Increase flow rate will decrease droplets size ? True or false
True
In spraying process depends on skill of the coating operator ? True or false
False
In ladling process depend on skill of the coating operator
Steps coating sugar in order ?
1) seal coating
2) subcoating
3) syrup
4) polishing
Seal coating must be hydrophilic ? True or false
False
Hydrophobic not hydrophilic
In spraying do you need seal coating? Yes or no
No
Just in ladling method
Why shellac coating length times to disintegration and dissolution times ?
Because of the polymerization of the shellac
Source of shellac ?
Is resin secreted by female lac bug on tree forest in India and Thailand
Source of Zein ?
Alcohol soluble protein derivation from corn
Role of subcoating ?
To build up the tablet size and increase Thickness
Steps in subcoating ?
2 steps
