  1. Foundation Knowledge and Skills Chapter 12: Medication Dosage Forms and Routes of Administration

  2. Learning Outcomes • Explain need for more than one dosage form • List advantages/disadvantages of various dosage forms • Outline characteristics of various liquid forms • solutions, emulsions, suspensions • List & explain advantages/disadvantages/differences of various routes of administration

  3. Key Terms • Aerosol • Aqueous solution • Buccal • Douche • Elixir • Emulsion • Endotracheal • Enema • Extractive • Inhalant • Intra-arteria • Intra-articular • Intracardiac • Intradermal • Intramuscular • Intraperitoneal • Intrapleural • Intrathecal

  4. Key Terms • Intratracheal • Intrauterine • Intravenous • Intraventricular • Intravesicular • Intravitreal • Irrigant • Jelly • Lozenge • Nonaqueous • Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion • Ointment • Parenteral • Percutaneous • Solution • Subcutaneous • Subgingival

  5. Key Terms • Sublingual • Suspension • Topical • Transdermal • Transmucosal • Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion

  6. Medication Dosage Forms • Most common dosage forms are liquids & solids • Routes have advantages • liquid medications are easier for children • alternative routes needed for medications degraded by stomach acid, digestive enzymes

  7. Liquid Dosage Forms • Fluid medium –vehicle • water • alcohol • glycerin • mineral oil

  8. Liquid Medication Pluses • Advantages • Faster-acting • Easier to swallow • More flexibility • Practical (eye drops for example)

  9. Liquid Med Disadvantages • Shorter dating • Unpleasant taste • Inconvenient • may spill • require careful measuring • special storage or handling requirements • refrigeration or shaking before use

  10. Solutions • Evenly distributed= homogeneous • Aqueous solutions -purified water as vehicle • Gargles • Oral rinses • Wash • Irrigating solutions • Enemas • Sprays

  11. Viscous Aqueous Solutions • Sticky, thick, sweet • Liquid or semisolid • Syrup • Jellies

  12. Nonaqueous solutions • Use solvents, or dissolving liquids, other than water • alcohol (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) • glycerin • mineral oil, • propylene glycol. • Hydroalcoholic solutions • elixirs • spirits • Collodions • Glycerites

  13. Extractives • Concentrated preparations • Extracts • Tinctures • Fluidextracts

  14. Emulsions • Mixtures of two liquids that normally do not mix • internal phase • external or continuous phase • Emulsifying agent • Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions • Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions

  15. Suspensions • Undissolved solids in gas or liquid • Suspensions need to be shaken before use • Lotions. • Magmas and milks • Gels • Mucilages

  16. Solid Dosage Forms • Tablets, capsules, suppositories, lozenges • Routes: • vaginal • rectal • urethral

  17. Tablets • Molded tablets • Compressed tablets • Inert ingredients • binders • diluents • lubricants • colorants • disintegrators

  18. Tablet Terminology • Coating • sugar-improves flavor, smell • enteric –delays dissolution • Sublingual • Buccal • Effervescent • Chewable • Vaginal tablets

  19. Capsules • Drug contained within gelatin shell • Sizes • 000 (large), 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (small) • May be sealed shut or banded, or meant to be opened • Soft gelatin capsules • Caplets

  20. Miscellaneous Dosage Forms • Lozenges (troches or pastilles) • antiseptic, local anesthetic, antibiotic, analgesic, antitussive, astringent, decongestant • Suppositories • rectal, vaginal, urethral • molded from soft, solid material (called base) • cocoa butter or glycerin

  21. Semi-solid Dosage Forms • Ointments • semisolid medication • Primary types • oleaginous • anhydrous • emulsion • water-soluble • Occlusive (provide a barrier) • Hydrophobic (repel water) • Water-soluable

  22. Creams • Semisolid O/W or W/O emulsions • Easily worked into skin (vanish) • Feel lighter than ointments • Allow skin to “breathe”

  23. Pastes • Semisolid medication • Intended for topical application • Adhere to skin • Protect skin

  24. Miscellaneous Dosage Forms • Extended-release • Powders • Granules • Inhalants • Aerosols • Liniments • Shampoos & creme rinses • Wipes & scrubs • Transdermal patches • Implants

  25. Extended-Release Med Abbrev. • CD • CR • CRT • LA • SA • SR • TD • TR • XL • XR Controlled-diffusion Controlled-release, continuous-release Controlled-release tablet Long-acting Sustained-action Sustained-release, slow-release Time-delay Time-release Extra-long Extended-release

  26. Routes of Administration • Oral: abbreviated PO, from Latin per os (by mouth) • Sublingual, Buccal, Transmucosal, Subgingival • Enteral- by way of the intestine • Nasogastric (tube) (NG or NGT) • Gastrostomy (tube) (GT) • percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (tube) (PEG) • Jejunostomy (tube)

  27. ParenteralBypassing Gastrointestinal Tract • Implant • Intra-arterial= Into artery (IA) • Intra-articular =Into joint (IA) • Intracardiac= Into heart muscle (IC) • Intradermal= Into top layers of skin (ID) • Intratracheal, endotracheal= Into trachea (IT) • Intramuscular= Into muscle (IM) • Intraperitoneal= Into peritoneal (abdominal) cavity

  28. ParenteralBypassing Gastrointestinal Tract • Intrapleural =Into pleura (sac surrounding lungs) • Intrathecal =Into space around spinal cord • Intrauterine =Into uterus • Intravenous =Into vein (IV) • Intraventricular =Into ventricles of brain • Intravesicular =Into urinary bladder • Intravitreal or intravitreous =Into eye • Subcutaneous =Immediately under skin (SubQ, SC, SQ)

  29. Misc. Routes of Administration • Inhalation • Nasal Intranasal =Into the nose • Ophthalmic =Into the eye • Otic, aural =Into the ear • Percutaneous =Through skin • Rectal =Through anus into rectum • Topical =Applied to skin or mucous membranes • Transdermal =Through skin • Vaginal
