MidtermOct Flashcards
heat sensitive drugs cannot be compounded in this lozenge form
hard lozenges
lozenge that uses a glycerinated gelatin base
chewable
stratum corneum
horny layer
stratum lucidum
clear layer
stratum granulosum
granular layer
stratum spinosum
prickle cell layer
stratum germinatum/basale
basal layer
stratum corneum layer is hydrophilic or hydrophobic
hydrophobic
rate limiting layer of the skin - controls absorption of the drug
stratum corneum
layer of the skin which is the site of biochemical activity (bioreactor)
stratum granulosum
layer of the skin that is the first layer where the cells are alive and have a nucleus
stratum granulosum
first layer of the skin that changes its thickness (as a mechanism)
stratum spinosum
layer of the skin that has cuboidal, many sided keratinocytes
stratum spinosum & stratum germinatum
layer of the skin that contains germ cells of the skin (renews the skin)
stratum germinatum
layer of the skin that has nerve endings and blood vessels
dermis
if we want systemic distribution of the drug, needs to reach this skin layer
dermis
dermis composition
matrix of connective tissue
75% collagen
4% elastin
layer of the skin that regulates heat
dermis
single phase vehicle - cream or ointment?
ointment
two phase vehicle - cream or ointment?
cream
contains less than 20% water and volatiles
ointment
contains more than 20% water and volatiles
creams
active ingredients remain solid in this dermatological vehicle
paste
oleaginous/hydrocarbon bases - washable?
non-water washable
absorption bases - washable?

w/o emulsion bases - washable?
non-water washable
silicon bases - washable?
non-water washable
o/w emulsions - washable?
water washable
gels - washable?
water washable
hydrophilic bases - washable?
water washable
emulsifying bases - washable?
water washable
yellow/white wax, petrolatum, and mineral oil
oleaginous/hydrocarbon bases
anhydrous lanolin, lanolin, lanolin alcohols, cholesterol, stearyl alcohol
absorption bases
cold creams (cetyl esters wax), emollient creams
w/o emulsions
zinc oxide, starch
paste
specifically created base for protection
silicon bases
main advantage of hydrocarbon bases
lipophilic properties give emollient and occlusive effect
main disadvantage of hydrocarbon bases
greasy, and tacky
stearyl alcohol - hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophobic
sodium lauryl sulfate - hydrophilic or hydrophobic
hydrophilic, anionic emulsifier
propylene glycol - hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophilic
vanishing cream, cleansing cream
o/w emusion
good choice of base for hairy areas
gels
hydrophilic bases cannot take up more than __% water
8%, has loose consistency
base that has good pt compliance - non-staining, non-occlusive
hydrophilic bases
polyethylene glycol ointment, PEG 3350, PEG 400
hydrophilic bases
sodium lauryl sulfate, liquid paraffin, white pet
emulsifying bases
additives for dermatological vehicles - selection based on
pt, active ingredient, and base
additives for dermatological vehicles
humectants levigating agents antimicrobial preservatives penetration enhancers antioxidants
humectant effect
increases hydration, and prevents drying out (when used at low concs)
humectant effect when used at high conc
withdraws moisture from the skin
propylene glycol, glycerol, PEG (300-400ish)
humectants
levigating agents effect
a liquid used to aid in the incorporation & particle size
-does not dissolve
levigating agent effect when used at high conc
particles will float and adhere to each other
mineral oil, and glycerol
levigating agents
mineral oil for hydrophobic things
glycerol for hydrophilic things
important for the penetration enhancer effect to be ________
temporary
