                                 The common forms of drugs

 Most of the drugs commonly dispensed fall into three categories:

1) solids, 2) semisolids and 3) liquids. It is up to the physician to decide upon the precise form in which his medication is to be administered. Since the ideal prescription is “tailor-made” to fit the exigencies of the individual case, several facts must be taken into consideration. If the patient can not swallow tablets, especially true of small children/ he must always receive medication in a liquid form. Sometimes multiple diseases complicate the picture too. For instance, a patient with a chronic peptic ulcer might not tolerate a cough syrup containing the irritating ammonium chloride.

 

Solid forms of drugs

A lot of drugs manufactured by pharmaceutical industry in a solid state greatly differ in shape, size and colour. They are powders, granules, tablets, lozenges, globules, capsules and pills.

A powder is a finely ground or comminuted mass of free particles formed from a solid substance in the dry state (head-ache powders, powders of ascorbic acid etc.)

A tablet is a compressed solid mass of medicated material usually in the shape of disc or flat square.A large medicated or sweetened round-shaped tablet is called a lozenge.

A capsule is a small cylindrical or spherical gelatinous container with a dose of medicine inside. Capsules may be of different forms, size and colour.

A pill is a medicinal substance put up in a pellet, convenient for swallowing whole.

Solid medicinal forms are mainly administered internally.
