Study Notes

Water is the solvent in all body fluids, and the human body contains approximately 60% water by weight.
Drugs must have some level of aqueous solubility for therapeutic efficiency, regardless of the route of administration.
Parenteral formulations are medications administered through means other than the digestive system.
Parenteral preparations may be injectable solutions, intravenous infusions, powders for injections, or implants.
Parenteral formulations may contain various excipients to improve stability or usefulness.
Sterility, absence of particulate matter, pyrogen-free status, stability, pH, and osmotic pressure are requirements for parenteral formulations.
The pH requirements vary depending on the administration route: IV (2-12), IM (3-11), and SC (3-6). pH values outside this range can cause adverse effects.
Excipients must increase stability or usefulness, not be harmless in the amounts administered, and not interfere with therapeutic efficacy or specified assays and tests.
Parenteral preparations must be sterile or free of microorganisms, prepared using aseptic techniques and special equipment.
Sterilization methods include steam, dry heat, filtration, chemical sterilization, and radiation.
Osmolarity is an estimation of the osmolar concentration of plasma and is proportional to the number of particles per liter.
Osmolality is an estimation of the osmolar concentration of plasma and is proportional to the number of particles per kilogram.
The normal osmolality of extracellular fluid is 280-295 mOsmol/kg.
Tonicity refers to the ability of a solution to maintain the balance of water in and out of cells.
Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as the body's fluids and do not affect cell volume.
Hypotonic solutions cause cells to swell, while hypertonic solutions cause cells to shrink.
The terms osmolarity and osmolality are used interchangeably, but osmolality is preferred as it is independent of temperature and pressure.
Osmolality is measured in clinical laboratories using an osmometer.
Parenteral formulations must be isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic, depending on the therapeutic application.
