Study Set Content:
prepared from fresh ripe fruits, aqueous in character and used in making syrups which are used as vehicles
Juices
concentrated solutions of sugar such as sucrose in water or other aqueous liquid. They are used as flavored syrup or medicated syrup.
Syrups
- thick liquid preparations somewhat allied to the syrup and used as a base instead of syrup.
Honey
thick, viscid, adhesive liquids produced by dispersing gum in water or by extracting with water the mucilaginous principles from vegetable substances
Mucilage
– class of gel in which the structural coherent matrix contain a high proportion of liquid, usually water. They are used as lubricant for surgical gloves, catheters, and rectal thermometer.
Jellies
contains pyroxylin in a mixture of ethyl ether and ethanol. They are applied to the skin by a soft brush applicator & when the ether & ethanol have evaporated, they leave a film of pyroxylin on the surface.
Collodion
– clear, pleasantly flavored sweetened hydroalcoholic liquids intended for oral use. They are used as flavors and vehicles
Elixirs
solution or mixture of medicinal substances in not less than 50% by weight of glycerin
Glycerin or glycerites
are drugs administered by the nasal or oral respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Nebulizers are used for the administration of inhalation.
Inhalations & inhalants –
– solutions or mixtures of various substances in oil, alcoholic solutions of soap or emulsion. They are intended for external application. They are applied by being rubbed on the affected area.
Liniments

Tinctures

Fluidextract
are dispersions of finely divided solid particles of a drug in a liquid medium in which the drug is not readily soluble.
Suspensions
is a thermodynamically unstable system that consists of two immiscible liquid phases—dispersed as globules (dispersed phase) and a liquid phase (continuous phase)—that are stabilized by the presence of an emulsifying agent
Emulsion
are pressurized dosage forms that upon actuation emit a fine dispersion of liquid and/or solid materials containing one or more active ingredients in a gaseous medium
Aerosols
sterile preparation intended to be administered by injection under or through one or more layers of skin. They are usually packed in ampules or vials.
