![Page 17: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What can influence PO absorption?
•Peristaltic rate•Empty vs. full stomach•Dilution•Food and drug may be
incompatible
![Page 18: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Methods of giving oral drugs
• Swallow via mouth–Pill, tablet, caplet, capsule, liquid
• Med syringe• NG-tube, Peg tube
![Page 19: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Solid Oral Dosage Forms
• The basic forms are tablets, capsules, and lozenges (troches).
• Caplets are oblong, like capsules.• Capsules are gelatin-coated and
dissolve in the stomach, or they may be coated to protect them from the acid action of the stomach.
![Page 20: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Solid Oral Dosage Forms• Tablets are compressed powders or granules
that, when wet, break apart in the stomach, or in the mouth if they are not swallowed quickly.– Cannot crush:
• Enteric-coated tabs—coating that resists gastric secretions; protects stomach mucosa
• Buffered tabs—prevent stomach irritation by combining drug with buffering agent
• Timed or sustained release (SR) capsules or spansules—dissolve at different rates over period of time
![Page 21: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Caplets, Capsules, and Tablets
![Page 22: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Scored Tablets
Only those tablets that are scored can be cut in half. This is accomplished with a pill cutter
![Page 23: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Liquid Oral Dosage Forms
• Liquid forms differ mainly in the type of substance used to dissolve the drug: water, oils, or alcohol.
• Solutions are drug substances contained in a homogeneous mixture with a liquid.
• There are multiple forms of liquid preparations.
![Page 24: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Liquid Medications
• Syrups: Solutions of sugar and water, usually containing flavoring and medicinal substances. Cough syrups are the most common.
• Aromatic waters: Aqueous solutions contain volatile oils such as oil of spearmint, peppermint, or clove.
• Liquors contain a nonvolatile material, such as alcohol, as the solute.
![Page 25: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Suspensions
• Suspensions are insoluble drug substances contained in a liquid. – Emulsions: Mixtures of oil and water that
improve the taste of otherwise distasteful products such as cod liver oil.
– Gels and magmas: Minerals suspended in water. Minerals settle, so products containing minerals must be shaken before use (Milk of Magnesia).
![Page 26: Pharmacology Administration of Medications Interpreting Physicians Orders Calculations of Drug Dosages – Chapter 10 Chapter 10 – Table 10-1 –Memorize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf8059/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Oral Administration• Taken with plenty of water unless designed to
coat mouth or throat (such as cough syrup).• Make sure patient is able to swallow.• Liquid medications best type of administration
for children.• Oral syringes can be used for pediatric
administration.• N/V requires alternative route of administration.• Always remain with patient until medication is
swallowed.
