TABLETS

    Short notes on tablets I In this first article on tablets I am going to provide some important points regarding tablet formulation.   ü   I : Advantages, disadvantages, tablet defects and the excipients used in the formulation of tablets ü   II : Evaluationparameters and types & classes of tablets . Second part of this topic will be provided in the next post. So, for short notes on second point please refer the next post. Let’s start with the first point in this topic. ADVANTAGES OF TABLETS Oral route of administration is the most preferred route for the administration of drugs for their systemic effects. Tablets are mostly preferred for this due to following advantages: ·          Unit dosage forms ·          Greatest dose precision ·          Least content variability ·          Lowest cost ·          The lightest and the most compact oral dosage forms ·          Easy transportation as compared to liquids ·          Product identification is easy

UV-Visible spectroscopy: Basics

Ultraviolet Spectroscopy In this anaytical technique, ultraviolet radiations are used. Wavelength ranges of radiations: Visible light : 400 - 800 nm Near UV radiations : 200 - 400 nm Far/ Vacuum UV : below 200 nm Generally, we carry out UV analysis in near UV region of radiations. PRINCIPLE : Electronic transitions When a molecule absorbs UV radiations, the electronic excitation occur where electrons go from lower to higher energy state.  Electronic excitation causes the electron to go from electron bonding orbital to antibonding orbital. After some time electron returns to its original state (stable). While returning to its stable form (into bonding orbital) it releases excess energy. That energy is measured by the detector to access the wavelength (λmax) /absorption pattern. TRANSITIONS: σ → σ* (126-135 nm) n → σ* (180-200 nm) π → π* n → π* ALLOWED TRANSITION:  π → π* FORBIDDEN TRANSITIONS:    n → π* ENERGY OF VARIOUS TRANSITIONS: σ

Linctuses: Monophasic Liquid Dosage Form

  LINCTUSES What is a Linctus? Linctuses are sweet, viscous liquid oral preparations containing medicinal substances which have demulscent, expectorant or sedative properties. These contain high proportions of syrup and glycerin which exert demulscent effect on the mucous membrane of throat. In order to obtain prolonged local action, linctuses should be administered slowly in undiluted form. Formulation of Linctus  1. Vehicle : Syrups are mostly used as vehicles in the linctuses. Tolu syrup is preferred in cough preparations due to its aromatic odor and flavour. Glycerol syrup and invert syrup are also used as vehicles. Linctus preparation for diabetic patients contain sorbitol syrup (vehicle). Medicament is first dissolved in little amount of water and then added into vehicle. Syrups are viscous and contain less amount of water, this limits (affects) the dissolution of medicament in syrup. 2. Additives: Colouring agents : Amaranth, Erythrosin, Tartrazine.
