Question 6

______________ is the term for triturating a powdered drug with a solvent in which it is insoluble to reduce it’s particle size

Suspension

A 2 phase system with uniform dispersion of finely divided solid drug particles in a continuous phase of solid, liquid, or gas in which the drug has minimum solubility.

Question 8

A two-phase system consisting of a finely divided solid dispersed in a liquid is a/an

Suspension

Formulation in which the drug does not completely dissolve in the liquid
