1Because the quantity of drug formulated into tablets and capsules can be measured accurately, these systems are ideal for [blank_start]potent[blank_end] drugs
- Apotent
2[blank_start]Powders for Reconstitution[blank_end]:
- Immediately prior to use, oral powders are mixed in a beverage or apple sauce.
- Because these constituted products have
limited stability, they are required to have a
specified expiration date after constitution
and may require storage in a refrigerator.- APowders for Reconstitution
3Bulk oral powders are limited to relatively non-potent drugs such as [blank_start]laxatives[blank_end], [blank_start]antacids[blank_end], dietary supplements, and certain analgesics that the patient may safely measure by the teaspoonful or capful.
- Alaxatives
- Bantacids
4Reducing the particle size of a powder will result in a uniform distribution of particle sizes. The process of reducing the particle size is called [blank_start]comminution[blank_end]
- Acomminution
5In compounding, there are 3 methods of comminution:
1) [blank_start]Trituration[blank_end]
2) [blank_start]Pulverization[blank_end] by Intervention
3) [blank_start]Levigation[blank_end]- ATrituration
- BPulverization
- CLevigation
6Sieving is most suitable where a majority of the particles are larger than about [blank_start]75[blank_end] mcm
- A75
7Very Coarse > [blank_start]1000[blank_end]
Coarse [blank_start]355–1000[blank_end]
Moderately Fine [blank_start]180–355[blank_end]
Fine [blank_start]125–180[blank_end]
Very Fine [blank_start]90–125[blank_end]- A1000
- B355–1000
- C180–355
- D125–180
- E90–125
8[blank_start]Optical microscopy[blank_end] for particle characterization can generally be applied to particles 1 μm and greater. Useful for characterizing particles that are not spherical.
- AOptical microscopy
9[blank_start]Feret's[blank_end] Diameter— The distance between imaginary parallel lines tangent to a randomly oriented particle and perpendicular to the ocular scale.
- AFeret's
10[blank_start]Martin's[blank_end] Diameter— The diameter of the particle at the point that divides a randomly oriented particle into two equal projected areas.
- AMartin's
11[blank_start]Projected Area[blank_end] Diameter— The diameter of a circle that has the
same projected area as the particle.- AProjected Area
12Commonly used descriptions of particle shape.
• [blank_start]Acicular[blank_end]— Slender, needle-like particle of similar width and thickness.
• [blank_start]Columnar[blank_end]— Long, thin particle with a width and thickness that are greater than those of an acicular particle.
• [blank_start]Flake[blank_end]— Thin, flat particle of similar length and width.
• [blank_start]Plate[blank_end]— Flat particles of similar length and width but with greater thickness than flakes.
• [blank_start]Lath[blank_end]— Long, thin, and blade-like particle.
• [blank_start]Equant[blank_end]— Particles of similar length, width, and thickness; both cubical and spherical particles are included- AAcicular

14[blank_start]True volume[blank_end]: the space occupied by the powder exclusive of
spaces greater than the intramolecular space- ATrue volume
15[blank_start]bulk volume[blank_end]: the volume occupied by a selected weight of a powder
- Abulk volume
16[blank_start]apparent density[blank_end] : Weight of sample/ Vbulk
- Aapparent density
17[blank_start]true density[blank_end] : Weight of sample/ Vtrue
- Atrue density
18The granular density includes contributions to particle volume from open pores smaller than some limiting size.
- Granular density will never be [blank_start]greater[blank_end] than true density- Agreater
19The [blank_start]pycnometric density[blank_end] equals the true density unless the material contains impenetrable voids, or sealed pores, that are inaccessible to the gas used in the pycnometer.
- Apycnometric density
20[blank_start]Geometric dilution[blank_end]:
•blending two or more powders of unequal amounts
• ensure that small quantities of ingredients such as potent drug are uniformly distributed in the mixture
• trituration method- AGeometric dilution
