Isoelectronicity is a phenomenon observed when two or more molecules have the same structure (positions and connectivities among atoms) and the same electronic configurations, but differ by what specific elements are at certain locations in the structure. For example, CO, NO +, and N 2 are isoelectronic, while CH 3 COCH 3 and CH 3 N = NCH 3 are ...
Preparing consumer packaging of prescription drugs at pharmacy. Drugs under prescription control are sent to pharmacies in multi-packs of unit packs or in bottles containing many hundreds of capsules. Typically a pharmacist prepares the final form of the unit pack or places a lower count of capsules in a small bottle for the customer.
Researchers have identified nearly 200 chemicals used to make food packaging that could possibly increase the risk of breast cancer.. Found in plastics and paper, some of the potential mammary ...
By the late 1980s, BFS had been well-established in the packaging industry, especially for packaging pharmaceutical and healthcare products. [14] During the 1980s and 1990s, BFS came into use for the now common small volume unit-dosage forms. [12] Since the early 2000s, BFS has been emerging as the preferred packaging process for parenteral ...
The drug is expelled via the laser-drilled hole visible on the left side of the tablet. The osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system (OROS) is an advanced controlled release oral drug delivery system in the form of a rigid tablet with a semi-permeable outer membrane and one or more small laser drilled holes in it.
A deuterated drug is a small molecule medicinal product in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms in the drug molecule have been replaced by its heavier stable isotope deuterium. Because of the kinetic isotope effect , deuterium-containing drugs may have significantly lower rates of metabolism , and hence a longer half-life .
An excipient is a substance formulated alongside the active ingredient of a medication.They may be used to enhance the active ingredient’s therapeutic properties; to facilitate drug absorption; to reduce viscosity; to enhance solubility; to improve long-term stabilization (preventing denaturation and aggregation during the expected shelf life); or to add bulk to solid formulations that have ...
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is the practice of modifying the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package (commonly food packages, drugs, etc.) in order to improve the shelf life. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The need for this technology for food arises from the short shelf life of food products such as meat, fish, poultry, and dairy in the ...
