Parenteral Dosage Forms Quiz

Parenteral Dosage Forms

• Subcutaneous injection is made into the loose tissue beneath the skin.
• The main problem in the formulation of parenteral emulsions is the difficulty in achieving a stable and consistent emulsion.
• Dry soluble materials are reconstituted prior to use in lyophilized or powdered parenteral dosage forms.
• The route of administration of drugs by injection under or through one or more layers of skin or mucous membrane is called parenteral administration.
• Intramuscular injection is made deep into the layers of the muscle.

Parenteral Quality Control

• The purpose of the leaker test is to detect leakage in the container or seal of a parenteral product.
• The purpose of using deeply colored dye solution in the leaker test is to enhance the visibility of any leakage.
• The clarity test is performed by visual examination of the product against a white or black background.
• It is important to avoid introducing air bubbles during the clarity test to prevent interference with the visual examination.
• The role of a vacuum chamber in the leaker test is to create a pressure difference to facilitate the detection of leakage.
