BPS 305 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Loose Connective Tissue, Adipose Tissue, Necrosis
Document Summary
Most semi-solids are thermodynamically unstable but are kinetically stable. Must keep and eye out for oxidation. Cannot lose any volatile products (like fragrance/water in the packaging) Eye preparations must be sterile, but in the us, others do not have this requirement. Elegance: is a cosmetic criteria but important for compliance (will the pt want to use this?) Ease of application (is there pain on damaged skin?) These criteria must be met and retained for the entire labeled shelf life under recommended storage conditions. These criteria must be met and maintained and reproduced from batch to batch and from dose to dose. Oinements are very susceptible to microbial growth. Preservatives are often added to commercial products. They must ful ll regulations for net ll or volume. Faster absorption than sc but can yield prolonged release. Use thick portion of muscle and avoid nerves and skin. Into loose connective tissue and adipose tissue beneath skin.
