Density - D=m/v half life equation - t1/2 = 0.693/k Shelf life equation - t90%=0.105/k dilution equation - C1V1=C2V dilution of liquid formulation - amount of drug (mg)/quantity (mL) X DF = amount (mg)/dose (mL) Henderson-Hasselbalch equation - pH = pKa + log [salt]/[acid] Isotonicity - % adjusting= [0.52-[(%A x FD1%A)+(%B x FD1%B)....]/FD1% adjusting SCE - % adjusting= [0.9-[(%A x SCEa)+(%B x SCEb)....]/SCE adjusting suppository formulation - weight base for Y suppositories=[calibration-(dose (g)/DV)] x density x Y
%error formula - %error=(sensitivity/amount weighed) x 100 isosmotic solution - % adjusting/Ciso adjusting = 1-((%A/CisoA)+(%B/CisoB)......) Ciso of a substance - Ciso=(0.9/SCE of the substance) osmolar solution - 1 Osm/L solution Osmolal solution - 1 Osm/Kg solution osmole - amount of solute that dissociates in solution to form 1 mole of osmotically active particles 1 mole NaCl= 2 Osm particles
