Study Notes
Sterile Products
- IV infusions must be isotonic to ensure safe administration.
- Sterile products must be stable, not only chemically and physically, but also microbiologically, maintaining sterility, freedom from pyrogenic and visible particulate contamination throughout their shelf life.
Characteristics of Vehicles
- Vehicles must be nonirritating, nontoxic in the amounts administered, and not sensitizing.
Sterilization
- Dry heat is less effective in killing microorganisms than moist heat, requiring higher temperatures and longer periods of exposure.
- Different methods of sterilization are used in the preparation of sterile dosage forms.
Routes of Administration
- Sterile dosage forms can be administered through different routes, including parenteral, ophthalmic, topical, and pulmonary routes.
Types of Sterile Products
- Parenterals: packed in a manner for administration via hypodermic injection, either in the form prepared or after addition of a suitable solvent or suspending agent.
- Ophthalmic: intended for instillation in the eye.
- Irrigating solutions: for contact with blood vessels of wounds or abraded mucous membranes.
- Topicas for exposed tissues: ointments, creams, gels, for burns, wound healing, and other skin damage.
- IV systems: administration devices.
- Implants: a matrix for insertion into a defect site.
- Pulmonary dosage forms: inhalation delivery system.
Parenteral Therapy
- Parenteral therapy is used to produce a localized effect.
