Pharmaceutics - ✔✔This term covers a wide range of subjects including:

it is transforming this into a form that is acceptable to the patient. This can

include the addition or stabilizers, sweeteners, excipients... This is the form

o the drug that is ready to use and is acceptable to the patient.

What is Dosage Form? What is the purpose of choosing a particular

dosage form? - ✔✔This is the form of the drug that is acceptable to the

patient after the addition of additives to make it work perfectly, this is the

medicine in the form of a tablet, a capsule, a suppository, a drink. Different

dosage forms are required for many different reasons.

The objective of this is to achieve predictable therapeutic response to the

drug in the formulation.

Coated Tablets - ✔✔These are used to protect the drug substances from

the destructive influences of atmospheric oxygen or humidity.

Enteric-Coated - ✔✔This is done to protect the drug substances form the

destructive influence of gastric acid after oral administration. This will keep

it protected and intact until it reaches the colon where it will be released.

Capsules and Flavoured Syrups - ✔✔These are used to conceal the bitter,

salt or offensive taste or odour of a drug substance. This is especially

important when it comes to children.
