13 most important liquid dosage form💊💉🧴

 LIQUID DOSAGE FORMS  



Liquid dosage forms are essential pharmaceutical products which involves a mixture of active drug components and nondrug components (excipients).


1- ORAL SOLUTION
> Oral solutions are clear Liquid preparations for oral use containing one or more active ingredients dissolved in a suitable vehicle.

2- ORAL EMULSION

Oral emulsions are stabilized oil-in-water dispersions, either or both phases of which may contain dissolved solids either oil is dispersed in finely divided form in water or vice versa.

3-ORAL SUSPENSIONm

> Biphasic liquid preparations for oral use containing one or more active ingredients suspended in a suitable vehicle. It sediment which is readily dispersed on shaking to give a uniform suspension which remains sufficiently stable to enable the correct dose to be delivered

4-SYRUP

It is a concentrated aqueous solution of a sugar, usually sucrose to which medicaments are added.
Flavored syrups are a convenient form of masking disagreeable taste.

5- ELIXIR

It is pleasantly flavored clear liquid oral preparation of potent or nauseous drugs. The vehicle may contain a high proportion of ethanol or sucrose together with antimicrobial preservatives which confers the stability of the preparation.

6 - MOUTHWASHES

- These are similar to gargles but are used for oral hygiene and to treat infections of the mouth.

7- LINCTUSES

- It is viscous, liquid oral preparations that are usually prescribed for the relief of cough. It contain high proportion of syrup and glycerol which have a demulcent effect on the membranes of the throat.
The dose volume is small (5ml) and, to prolong the demulcent action, they should be taken undiluted.

8- ORAL DROPS

Oral drops are liquid preparations for oral use that are intended to be
administered in small volumes with the aid of a suitable measuring device.
They may be solutions, suspensions or emulsions.

9- GARGLES

They are prepared in a concentrated solution with directions for the patient to dilute with warm water before use.
They are aqueous solutions used in the prevention or treatment of throat infections.

10- LOTIONS

It is mono-phasic liquid preparations (aqueous) for extemal application without friction either dabbed on the skin or applied on a suitable dressing and covered with a water proof dressing to reduce evaporation.

11 - NASAL DROPS & SPRAYS

- Drugs in aqueous solution may be instilled into the nose from a dropper or from a plastic squeeze bottle.
Used for local effect,
e.g. antihistamine, decongestant.

12-  COLLODION

Collodion is a solution of nitro cellulose in ether or acetone, some times with the addition of alcohols.
As the solvent evaporates, it dries to a celluloid-like film.
- It is highly flammable.
Compound Wart Remover consists of acetic acid and salicylic acid in an
acetone collodion base used in treatment of warts by Keratolysis.

13 - PAINTS

Paints are mono-phasic liquids for application to the skin or mucous membranes. Skin paints contain volatile solvent that evaporates quickly to leave a dry resinous
film of medicament.
Throat paints are more viscous due to a high content of glycerol that designed to prolong contact of the medicament with the affected site.


◇PARENTERAL DOSAGE FORMS

An injection is an infusion method of putting liquid in to the body, usually with a hollow needle and a syringe which is pierced through the skin.

Intravenous Injection
•It is a liquid administered directly into the bloodstream via a vein.
• It is advantages when a rapid onset of action is needed.

Intramuscular Injection
• It is the injection of APIS directly into a muscle.
• Intramuscular injections are often given in the deltoid, vastus lateralis, ventrogluteal and dorsogluteal muscles.

Subcutaneous Injection 


• It is injecting into the subcutis, the layer of skin directly below the dermis and epidermis.
• It is highly effective in administering vaccines and insulin.





In these notes we've covered liquid dosage form and previous notes we've covered dosage form and solid dosage form in very easy and efficient way. Do read it once as it's the most important topic, so in next notes we'll cover semi-solid dosage form. I hope you enjoyed reading. Thank you 😊

Preparation of pharmaceutical powders

  COMMINUTION OF DRUGS •On a small scale, the pharmacist reduces the size of chemical substances by grinding with a mortar and pestle. •A finer grinding action is accomplished by using a mortar with a rough surface (as a porcelain mortar) than one with a smooth surface (as a glass mortar). •Grinding a drug in a mortar to reduce its particle size is termed trituration or comminution. Credit:- indianmart.com •On a large scale, various types of mills and pulverizers may be used to reduce particle size. • Through the grinding action of rapidly moving blades in the comminuting chamber, particles are reduced in size and passed through a screen of desired dimension to the collection container. The collection and containment system: ♧protects the environment from chemical dust ♧reduces product loss ♧prevents product contamination. Levigation •Levigation is commonly used in small scale preparation of ointments and suspensions to reduce the particle size and grittiness of the added...

Pharmaceutical Emulsions | Types of pharmaceutical emulsions | Applications | Formulation | Instability pdf|

  Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable heterogeneous biphasic systems consisting of at least one immiscible liquid, which is dispersed as globules (the interal, discontinuous or dispersed phase) in the other liquid phase (the external, continuous phase or dispersion medium), which is stabilised by the presence of an emulsifying agent. Internal phase droplets are generally in the range of diameter 0.1 mm 100 mm. Credit:- the face shop 1) Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions: Emulsions are biphasic liquid systems, one phase of which is usually polar (i.e. aqueous), while the other is relatively non-polar (i.e. oil). When oil droplets are dispersed in the continuous aqueous phase, the emulsion is termed as oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion. 2) Water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions: When oil phase serves as the continuous phase and wate droplets as internal phase, the emulsion is water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion. Credit:- toppr.com 3) Multiple emulsions: These are of two types, o/w/o and w/o/w type. The ...
