A solid dosage form that consists of a mixture of dry, finely divided drugs.

The process of particle size enlargement of homogeneously mixed powder ingredients.

A solid dosage form that contains medication enclosed in a gelatin container.

A solid dosage form that is a hard, compressed medication in round, oval, or square shape. It allows for precise dosing and extended shelf life.

They are classified according to the route of administration (oral, topical, etc.) and the physical form (solid, semisolid, liquid).

A key factor in the approval of generic drugs, ensuring they perform similarly to the original reference product.

The way a drug is administered into the body, e.g., oral, topical, rectal, etc.

Different types of capsules, including hard, soft, gastro-resistant, controlled-release, and modified-release.

A medication that has the same active ingredient, dosage form, strength, and intended use as the original brand-name drug. It's essentially a copy of the original, but often costs less.

A medication that's the original version of a drug, marketed under a brand name, and typically protected by a patent.

The name given to a drug that's not owned by a specific company, and is publicly recognized worldwide. It's often used for generic drugs.

When two drugs have similar absorption rates and reach the same concentration levels in the bloodstream, they are considered bioequivalent. This ensures they have the same effectiveness.

The maximum concentration of a drug in the bloodstream after administration. It's used to measure how quickly a drug is absorbed.

The total amount of drug absorbed into the bloodstream. It is measured by AUC and shows how much drug is in the body over time.

The characteristics of how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated in the body.

Inactive ingredients that add necessary features like color, shape, and stability to a medication. Though they don't impact the main effect, they may be what makes generics differ from brand-name drugs.

Tablets with a coating that prevents the active ingredient from being destroyed by air, moisture, or light.

Tablets that dissolve quickly under the tongue, bypassing the stomach and liver, for faster absorption and action.

Tablets designed to release their medication over a period of time, often bypassing the stomach and delaying release in the intestines.

Tablets that release their medication in multiple stages, allowing different components to be released at different times.

Tablets that contain acid and carbonates, which fizz when dissolved in water, creating carbon dioxide.

Solid dosage forms inserted into the rectum where they melt, soften, or dissolve at body temperature.

Tablets designed to be chewed, often for easier administration, especially to children or those with swallowing difficulties.

A small medicated candy that dissolves slowly in the mouth, intended to soothe irritated tissues in the throat.

Vaginal suppositories are solid dosage forms inserted into the vagina for local treatment. They contain various ingredients like antiseptics, contraceptives, local anesthetics, and therapeutic agents for treating infections.

A type of vaginal suppository, typically molded into a specific shape, for introducing medication locally.

A form of vaginal suppository, often molded into a round shape, for local action. Also known as vaginal tablets.

A type of vaginal suppository, often enclosed in a capsule. It is designed for local treatment in the vagina. Also known as Ovule.

Ointment is a semi-solid, greasy preparation applied to skin, rectum, or nasal mucosa. It's usually anhydrous and immiscible with skin secretions.

A semi-solid preparation similar to an ointment, with a high percentage of insoluble solid added. It forms a thick, stiff barrier over the skin.

A semi-solid emulsion system containing mixtures of oil and water. It's miscible with skin secretions and comes in oil-in-water or water-in-oil forms.

A semi-solid system where a liquid phase is constrained within a 3-D polymeric matrix containing a high portion of water. Used for medications and lubrication.

Medication delivered directly to the bloodstream, avoiding the digestive tract, resulting in faster action.

Medication administered through the digestive tract, often slower absorption with potential first-pass metabolism.

Medication taken by mouth, the most common and convenient route, but can be affected by food and gastric enzymes.

Medication placed under the tongue, bypassing the stomach, allowing faster absorption and avoiding first-pass metabolism.

Medication administered directly into a vein, providing immediate action and high bioavailability.

Medication injected into a muscle, allowing slow and sustained release, suitable for larger volumes and some vaccines.

Medication applied to the skin or mucous membranes, for localized effects, avoiding systemic circulation.

A route of drug administration where medication is inserted into the rectum, bypassing the first-pass metabolism in the liver, leading to faster onset and higher bioavailability.

A liquid drug formulation used in rectal administration, particularly for laxatives or systemic absorption.

Local action: Crohn's disease treatment. Systemic action: Status epilepticus treatment in children.

Administration of medication directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, leading to rapid absorption and immediate action.

Administration of medication into the subcutaneous tissue, usually via injection, leading to slower absorption than intramuscular injections.

Administration of medication into skeletal muscle, allowing for larger volumes and generally faster absorption than subcutaneous injections.

A method of drug administration that involves injecting medication into the space surrounding the spinal cord, bypassing the blood-brain barrier.

A route of drug administration where medication is injected into the epidural space, located between the outer covering of the spinal cord and the vertebral bone, providing targeted pain relief.
