| solutions | a clear liquid made up of one or more ingrediens dissolved in a solvent. |
| solvent | a liquid that can dissolve another substance to form a solution. Water most common solvent |
| Syrups (70% sorbital sol. syrup vehicle) | concentrated solution of sucrose in water. < 10% alcohol - thicker than water |
| non-aqueous solutions | contain solvents other than water. (glycerin, alcohol, and propylene glycol) |
| Elixirs | clear, sweet, hydoalcoholic liquids (5-40% alcohol)less sweet & viscous than syrup. |
| Spirits/essences | hydro/alcoholic solutions of volatile substances (62-85% alcohol) |
| emulsions | two non-mixable components |
| Suspensions (shake well) | drug does not completely dissolve in the solvent. easily dispersed with shakiing. |
| Tincture | hydro/alcoholic solutions on non-volatile substances. |
| Gels | gelling agents increase viscosity of medium (require 12-24 hours to reach max viscosity) |
| hydrophilic emulsifier | oil in water emulsion(o/w) where aqueous phase is > 45% of total weight. |
| lipophilic emulsifier | water in oil emulsion(w/o) where agueous phase is < 45% of total weight. |
