SAS 6 Flashcards
This type of chemical incompatibility can be minimized by changing the order of mixing or mixing the solutions in dilute forms.
Tolerated incompatibility
This type of chemical incompatibility can be prevented by the addition or substitution of one of the reacting ingredients of a prescription with another of equal therapeutic value.
Adjusted incompatibility
chemical interaction:
adjusted incompatibility
ex.
caffeine + sodium salicylate
what is the remedy?
change caffeine to caffeine citrate
what is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- Dehydrogenation
- VILEORA
- Examples:
Ascorbic acid (white to yellow)
Epineprhine (yellow to pink)
Oxidation
what is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- Hydrogenation
- VDGEROA
Reduction
what is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- Examples precipitation and Evolution of gas
Acid-Base reactions
What is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- most common cause of degradation
- examples: Ester, Amide, ASA
Hydrolysis
What is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- a.k.a Photooxidation, Photolysis
- Ex. Nifedipine, Nitropusside, Riboflavin, Doxorubicin
Photochemical Degradation
what is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- conversion of an optically active drug to an optically inactive drug
Racemization
what is this type of chemical incompatibility?
- formation of gels
- Example: Acacia + Fe salts
Gelatinization
Incompatibility can occur in what scenarios?
Acronym: PADSMFC
Manufacturing
Administration of drugs
Dispensing
Storage
Packaging
Formulation
Compounding
insolubility is?
between solid and liquid
immiscibility is?
between liquid to liquid
this results when highly hydrated inorganic ions are deprived of organic ions and molecules of adequate water molecules to remain dissolved.
Salting-out
absorbs moisture
Deliquescence (under liquefaction)
