Study Notes

Pharmacy Basics

A prescription is a written instruction from a licensed medical professional to a pharmacist, specifying the form and amount of medication to be dispensed to a patient.
A trade name or brand name of a drug is the proprietary name given by the manufacturer, often easier to remember and pronounce than the generic name.

Drug Preparation

A tablet is a solid drug preparation, usually in the form of a small, flat or rounded disk, composed of the active ingredient mixed with excipients, compressed to make it convenient for oral administration.

Medication Administration

A medication administration route is the method by which a medication is introduced into the body, such as oral, topical, injectable, or inhalational.

Suspensions

A suspension in terms of drug preparation is a heterogeneous mixture of a solid dispersed in a liquid, where the particles do not dissolve, often shaken before use to redistribute the suspended particles.
