Viscosity

Question 1

measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow

Answer 1

Viscosity

Question 2

d’s resistance to flow. It reflects how thick or thin a liquid is and how easily
it can be poured or spread.

Answer 2

viscosity

Question 3

it is the ________ ________ within a liquid that occurs when layers of fluid move relative to one another.

Answer 3

internal friction

Question 4

The viscosity of a drug formulation
plays a crucial role in?

Answer 4

Stability
Bioavailability
Patient Experience

Question 5

Enumerate the Viscosity in Drug Formulation

Answer 5

Dosage Accuracy
Stability of Suspensions and Emulsions
Drug release and absorptions
Patient Compliance and Acceptability
Rheological Properties

Question 6

Viscosity affects the ease with which liquid drugs can be measured and dispensed. A liquid
that is too thin might be difficult to control, leading to inaccurate dosages, while a liquid that is too thick
may be difficult to pour or inject

Answer 6

Dosage Accuracy

Question 7

In suspensions (where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid) and
emulsions (where two immiscible liquids are combined), appropriate viscosity is essential to maintain
uniform distribution of particles and prevent settling or separation. Increased viscosity helps keep active
ingredients evenly dispersed over time.

Answer 7

Stability of Suspensions and Emulsions
