Agent that dilutes a substance; in pharmacy, the liquid added to a powder to change the powder to a liquid or the liquid used to dilute another liquid; also known as SOLVENT.
Diluent
Curved lined that develops on the upper surface of a liquid when poured into a container; always rad at the bottom of the curve at eye level.
Meniscus
Space occupied by the powder active ingredient relative to the total volume of medication after reconstitution; also know as DISPLACEMENT VALUE
Powder Volume
Dosage form in which small particles of medication are dispersed throughout the liquid; most require shaking before dispensing and administering.
Suspension
Process of adding fluid, such distilled water, to a powder or crystalline form of medication to make a specific liquid dosage strength.
