🗑
Tincture   Alcoholic or hydroalcoholic solutions of nonvolatile substances  
🗑
Suspensions   Drug particles are suspended in the formulation Drug does not completely dissolve in aolvent  
🗑
Advantages of Solutions   Completely homogenous dose Immediately available for absorption For those who can't swallow tab or cap Doses can be easily adjusted  
🗑
Disadvantages of Solutions   Drugs/chemicals less stable than in dry form Some drugs not soluble in accept. solvents May need special ing. to mask object. taste More diff. to handle store and transport Require dosage measurement devices  
🗑
Advantages of Suspensions   Can orally admin. drugs that are insoluble in accept. solvents For those who can't swallow tab or cap Masks objectionable taste Chemically more stable than in solution  
🗑
Disadvantages of Suspensions   Tend to settle over time leading to lack of dose uniformity Unpleasant oral texture  
🗑

🗑
Oil in water Emulsion (o/w)   Oleaginous component present as droplets  
🗑
Water in Oil Emulsion(w/o)   Aqeous component present as droplets  
🗑
Advantages of Emulsions   Masks taste of very bitter drugs Can dramatically increase oral solubility or bioavailability of drug  
🗑
Disadvantge of Emulsions   Has oily feel in mouth  
🗑
Intravenous IIV)   Injected directly into veins and circulating blood - 20 seconds for drug to circ. the body  
🗑
Formulations that can be used with injectables   Solutions Suspensions Emulsions - TPN Dry powder formulations  
🗑
Syringeability   Ease with which suspension can be drawn from container into syringe  
🗑

🗑
Most common SQ injection   insulin  
🗑
Rate of SQ injection controlled by:   Slowly soluble salt forms, Suspensions vs. Solutions, Difference in particle size, Viscosity of medium, May be slower than IM  
🗑
