    Study Notes

    Solubility vs. Dissolution

    • Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.
    • Dissolution is the process of a substance dissolving in a solvent.

    Dosage Form Selection

    • The choice of dosage form is influenced by factors such as the route of administration, stability, and bioavailability of the drug.

    Water and Pharmaceuticals

    • Water is a critical component in the pharmaceutical industry, used as a solvent, vehicle, or reactant in various stages of drug development and manufacturing.

    Development of Final Dosage Form

    • The interplay between solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability is crucial in the development of a final dosage form, as it affects the drug's efficacy and safety.

    Particles and Powders

    • Particle size and powder properties can significantly impact the dissolution rate and solubility of a drug, making it essential to consider these factors during formulation and manufacturing.
