gloves
BUDs for repackaged drugs should be: - ANS the manufacturer's expiration date from the

comminution - ANS reduce particle size by grinding, crushing, milling, vibrating (or other

volatile - ANS the compound vaporizes easily (evaporates)
suspension - ANS solid dispersed in a liquid
--two-phase heterogeneous mixture
what type of surfactant is used to incorporate an insoluble drug into a liquid ---> suspension -
ANS levigating/wetting agent
