Study Notes
Types of Impurities in Medicinal Preparations
- Impurities with toxic effects, e.g. Lead and Arsenic salts, can cause unpleasant reactions when present beyond certain limits.
- Impurities that can make a substance incompatible with other substances, affecting its interaction and reactivity.
- Impurities that can affect the storage properties of pharmaceuticals, leading to changes in their composition or stability.
- Harmless impurities, e.g. Sodium salt in potassium salt, can lower the active strength of a medicinal compound if present beyond the limit.
- Impurities that can cause technical difficulties in the use of a substance, making it challenging to work with or process.
- Impurities that affect the sensory properties of a substance, e.g. taste, odour, colour or appearance, making it unhygienic and unaesthetic.
- Examples of sensory impurities include:
- Magnesium salts in Sodium chloride, causing it to become damp.
- Phenolic impurities in Sodium salicylate, altering its odour.
