From a physico-chemical point of view, suppositories are considered as dispersed systems consisting of a dispersion medium, represented by the basis of the Dispersed phase, in the role of which medicinal substances act. Depending on the properties of medicinal substances, dispersed systems of suppositories can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneous systems are formed when the medicinal substance is dissolved in the base. Heterogeneous systems are formed in the case of the introduction of medecine into the base by the type of emulsion or suspension. In the structure of suppositories, there are basic (medicinal substances) and auxiliary (carriers or base) components. There are a number of requirements for suppository bases: the bases must maintain sufficient hardness at room temperature; the melting (dissolution) temperature of the...

There are empty capsules in the capsule bin. The capsules move down into two magazines, are aligned by the sorting unit and lowered into the corresponding cells. At the first stage of this operation, the first (internal) one is loaded a row of capsules, on the second one — the second (external) one is loaded a number of capsules. After the capsule magazine there is a narrow calibration hole. Only geometrically correct capsules can pass through this hole. In case of irregular shaped capsules that are unable to pass through the calibration hole, the cells are blocked, recognized by the scanner and excluded from the further filling process.

A band-Aid (Leucoplastrum), or a sticky elastic band-aid smeared (Emplastrum adhaesivum elasticum externum). It is used to hold bandages, to bring the edges of wounds closer together, to stretch the limb in case of fracture, etc. It consists of the following components: 25.7 parts of natural rubber, 20.35 parts of rosin, 32 parts of zinc oxide, 9.9 parts of anhydrous lanolin, 11.3 parts of liquid paraffin and 0.75 parts of neozone D. The adhesive plaster production process includes several stages: the dissolution of natural rubber and rosin in gasoline, the preparation of an alloy of lanolin with liquid paraffin, mixing it with finely ground zinc oxide and the preparation of a paste of anti-oxidant rubber. The application of the finished mass of adhesive plaster to...

As noted above, encapsulated dosage forms are becoming increasingly important due to their obvious advantages over other dosage forms. This section will consider the technology of production of solid gelatin capsules, which are most widely used in the modern pharmaceutical industry, as well as the equipment on which their manufacture is carried out. Characteristics of the main and auxiliary substances included in the composition of solid gelatin capsules. To obtain capsule shells, film-forming high-molecular substances capable of forming elastic films characterized by a certain mechanical strength are used. Such materials include casein, zein, cellulose esters and esters, fats and wax-like substances, as well as some synthetic polymers (for example, a copolymer of methacrylamide and methacrylic acid, etc.). However, these substances have not found wide practical...

The calculated amount of purified water is poured into the container, which is heated to a temperature of + 65 ° C in a gelatin mass preparation apparatus, and a stirrer is turned on. Then glycerin is poured with nipagin and gelatin is filled in. The gelatin mass is mixed for 1.5 hours until the gelatin is completely dissolved, then, with the agitator turned off, it settles for 0.5—1.5 hours. After that, the gelatin mass is filtered through a sieve and its viscosity is measured using a viscometer. If the viscosity indicators do not correspond to the norm, the ratio of water and gelatin is recalculated. The filler solution is prepared according to the technological instructions. The prepared gelatin mass and filler in the required...

A film coating is a thin shell formed on the surface of a microsphere (pellets). Tablets or granules after drying of the film-forming substance solution applied to their surface. The thickness of the film coating layer is approximately from 5 to 50 microns. The droplets of the coating liquid are sprayed onto the initial particles. The supplied process air evaporates the liquid and dries the film layer on the surface of the particles. The small droplet size and low viscosity ensure uniform distribution of the film on the particle surface. An important point when applying the coating is a very uniform application of the coating material. The coatings must be dense, without mechanical damage and cracks. Film coating is an effective way of applying protective...

Modified release film coatings can be applied to pharmaceutical products to achieve modification, control the release of a medicinal substance. All coatings on the kinetics of drug release can be divided into the following four types: Coatings that provide periodic release of LV (intermittent release). This type includes coatings resistant to the effects of gastric juice — intestinal soluble coatings. Coatings that provide instant release of LV. Coatings that provide a steady (continuous) release of LV. Coatings that provide delayed (delayed) release of LV. Let's look at each type of coatings in more detail. Coatings that provide periodic release of the medicinal substance. This type of coating provides a prolonged effect of the dosage form, when injected into the body, LV is released in portions,...

With this type of coating, the medicinal substance from the tablets can be released instantly. These types of coatings include polymers developed by BASF: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Kollicoat IR white and Kollicoat Protect. PVS-based films are very elastic, but the coating process is possible only in a narrow range of varying technological parameters. This polymer is rapidly dispersed in water during the preparation of the dispersion for the film coating, forms shiny, non-sticky and very flexible films that do not crack during storage. The addition of a plasticizer is not required to create a coating. Kollicoat IR can be replaced by GPMC and other coatings with immediate release of LV in new tablet preparations. The use of Kollicoat IR increases the cost-effectiveness of the coating...

As in the case of sugar coatings, problems may arise after or during the application of the film coating. Tablets, Pellets and granules on which the coating is applied may not be strong enough or delaminate during the coating process. Due to the fact that film coatings are relatively thin, their ability to hide defects is significantly lower than that of sugar coating. When using a film coating, various problems may arise. One example is sticking, which occurs when the fluid flow rate exceeds the drying rate, which causes the gluing of tablets, pellets and granules and their further destruction.
