In extemporaneous dispensing practical this time we had the chance to make suppositories. This time we are make paracetamol suppositoris...it is mainly used for fever in kids especially.
Suppositories are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the anus. They are normally made of a solid vegetable oil that contains the medicine. The suppository dissolves at body temperature and gradually spreads over the lining of the lower bowel, where it is then absorbed into the bloodstream.
I never expect that this practical is so tedious...hahaha..we ended up finishing the practical about 7 pm...just to make 6 tiny little 'bullet'..we took about 4 and a half hours....
The setting of the lab before the practical starts.
Cocoa butter....this is the main base in the suppository....it will melt when the suppository is inserted in to the anus.
Paracetamol..the active ingredient in the paracetamol suppository...it is analgesic and antipyretic.
Silica Gel..it is used to give texture to the suppository....so that it wun break when you touch it...
The balance for us to weigh the material and some aluminium foil to wrap the final product.
Some of the apparatus that we used.
The suppository mould...
First we melt all the ingredient in a water bath.
The melten product then poured into the mould and refrigerated for about half and hours or more.
The final product.
Finally i have some free time to update my blog...i think my blog had been left collectiong dust for some time already...
Lately i have been having lots of PBLs sessions. I had 2 consecutives PBLs last week...and this week even worsts...i had 3...i m glad that its over...however, i must admit that we can learn a lot through a PBL session...
PBL is Problem Based Learning...It is divided into 2 session...In PBL 1, we will be given a case presentation...usually the case will be based on a certain disease...we will have to discuss the learning issues that we want to venture in....then in PBL 2, each of us will be presenting the learning issues that have been assigned earlier...PBL involves a lot of reading...one must really understand whatever topic that he or she will be presenting...if not you will find yourself in the pool of blood....you will be shoot by tons of questions..from the lecturer or even your PLBmate.
A group preparing before the PBL session...some group need to be there extra early to prepare..=p
