Class Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Crystalline Solid
When a liquid is gradually cooled
Solids forming rapidly means the atoms/ions or molecules can be locked in
place
Amorphous means without form
Amorphous solids don’t diffract x-rays
Glass is a family of amorphous solids that’s silica based
Solid Dosage Forms in Digestive Tract
Prepared by compressing powders or granules
Different excipients can be added to ensure tablet is the right size, an
antioxidant or disintegrant
Advantages
Consistent quality and dosing
Improved mechanics and chemical stability
Able to adapt
Good patient compliance
