This document discusses different types of incompatibilities that can occur in prescriptions, including physical, chemical, and therapeutic incompatibilities. Physical incompatibilities involve changes in a medication's appearance, taste, or odor due to issues like immiscibility, insolubility, or precipitation. Chemical incompatibilities occur due to chemical reactions between ingredients and can be detected by precipitation, effervescence, decomposition, or color changes. Therapeutic incompatibilities arise when medications do not produce their intended pharmacological effect, often due to dosing errors, prescribing contraindicated drugs, or drug interactions. The document provides examples of each type of incompatibility and methods for correcting physical and chemical issues.
An excipient is generally a pharmacologically inactive substance used as a carrier for the active ingredients of a medication
EXCIPIENTS USED IN LIQUID DOSAGE FORMS:
Solvents/co-solvents ,
Buffering agents,
Preservatives,
Anti-oxidants,
Humectants,
Wetting agents,
Anti-foaming agents,
Thickening agents,
Sweetening agents,
Flavouring agents,
EXCIPIENTS USED IN TABLETS:
Binders
Coatings
Disintegrants
Fillers
Flavours
Colours
Lubricants
Glidants
Preservatives
Sweeteners
A medicinal preparation which is prepared by extraction of crude vegetable drugs (active principles) with suitable solvent. The term is now used to denote standard preparations containing one or more active constituents of a plant and made by a process that leaves the inert and other undesirable constituents of the plant un-dissolved. This is known as Extraction.
Semisolid dosage forms are neither solid nor liquid, however, they are a combination or mixture of both, and they used for both local and systemic effects. Pharmaceutical semisolid dosage forms such as creams, ointments, gels, suppositories, and paste are used for topical application. Semisolid dosage forms are intended used as drug carriers that are transported topically through the skin, buckle tissue, rectal tissue, outer ear lining nasal mucosa, urethral membrane, vagina, and cornea. The semisolid may adhere adequately before washing on the surface of the application; this helps to extend the supply of drugs on the application site.
it is GTU based syllabus chapter and all the points are covered like... handling of prescription , etc... very helpful for pharmacy students...and its in easy language..

Incompatibilities in prescription, prescription Incompatibilities, pharmaceutics, prescription errors, important topic for pharmacist, how to remove error in the dispense and compound prescription
Incompatibility occurs as a result of mixing of two or more antagonistic substance and an undesirable product is formed which may affect the safety, efficacy and appearance of the pharmaceutical preparation.
The change may be detected by change in physical, chemical and therapeutic qualities of the medicines.
Types : 1 Physical 2 Therapeutic 3 Chemical
The main idea is the incompatibilities that accrue between the IV drug with drug, solution, container and IV set .
Simple study of incompatibilities of drug admixtures in Iraq , that accrue heavily in pharmacy and hospitals, it incorrect because the compliance of patient not a reason for admixture and we didn't found any study on this admixtures that confirm it safety. At last it very important to avoid it because the great risk .
Selection of excipients must be done with an utmost care to avoid physical and chemical interactions that ultimately lead to the degradation of the quality of the product.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Introduction
• In olden days pharmacist himself compounded and
dispensed the prescription, thus chances of occurring
incompatibilities.
• Drug with another drug or a drug with its excipients are
interact with each other are comes under incompatibility.
• Incompatibility happened during compounding, dispensing
and also at any step of manufacturing, formulation,
packaging, etc.
• Nowadays, the compounding of prescription are totally
eliminated, due to availability of ready-made medicines,
4. manufactured by many pharmaceutical companies.
• Therefore, the chances of occurring incompatibility became
less.
• But also, when branded medicines are mix together or store
in unsuitable place by patient, May small chances of
occurring incompatibilities.
• Hence, it is very necessary that the pharmacist has thorough
knowledge about incompatibilities of prescription.
5. DEFINITION OF INCOMPATIBILITY:
• It is a outcome of mixing two or more opposite type of
substance and got unaccepted or undesirable preparation,
which may change the appearance, safety and efficacy of
pharmaceutical Preparation.
6. TYPES OF INCOMPATIBILITIES
There are three kinds of incompatibilities, which are generally
occurred in prescription:
(A)Physical Incompatibility
(B)Chemical Incompatibility
(C)Therapeutic Incompatibility
7. (A) PHYSICAL INCOMPATIBILITY:
Definition: A mixing of more than one substance together ,
a physical changes occur with formulation and undesirable
preparation is formed.
• In Physical incompatibility, physical changes are occurred
such as, change in appearance, taste, odor etc.
• These changes, we can easily seen as well as correct out.
Reason of occurring physical incompatibility:
1. Immiscibility
2. Insolubility
3. Precipitate formation
4. Liquefaction of solid materials
8. Correction method of physical incompatibility:
• By altering the order of mixing of ingredient
• By emulsification
• By addition or substitution of therapeutically inactive
substance.
• By adding suspending agent
Example of physical incompatibility and their method of
correction:
(a) Immiscibility:
• Oil and water immiscible with each other, can be miscible
by adding emulsifying agent.
9. (b) Insolubility:
• It is define as the inability of material to dissolve in solvent
system.
• The main reason of occurring physical incompatibility is
insolubility of organic as well as inorganic substance in
solvent.
Eg: Chalk, Acetyl salicylic acid, Zinc oxide and Calamine
(In diffusible Solid) are not easily soluble in solvent.
• By adding suspending agent, its help to maintain uniform
distribution of insoluble substance for long time after
shaking and we may get stable preparation.
10. (C) Precipitation:
• Precipitation means separation of solid from a liquid.
Eg: 1) resin are insoluble in water :
• When tincture containing resin added to water , resin
precipitate out.
• This can be corrected by slowly adding undiluted tincture
with stirring or by adding suitable thickening agent.
2) If preparation containing organic solvent mixed with
preparation containing water then precipitation will
occur.
• Eg: when tincture mixed with syrup ,we will get ppt.
11. 3) Volatile oils are soluble in alcohol:
• Eg: when alcoholic solution of volatile oil added into water
, oil get precipitate and turbidity appears.
(d) Liquefaction:
• It means the solid become liquid after come in contact with
temperature and humidity.
Eutectic mixture: It is a result of mixing two low melting
point solids together, will get a liquid or soft mass.
• It is happen due to lowering the melting point of mixture to
below room temp.
• These can be stable at room temperature or normal humidity
but these compound will release their water under increasing
12. Temperature or decreasing humidity.
Eg: camphor, menthol, phenol and aspirin
These type of example create a problem, when dispense in
powder form.
• Solutions: 1) Triturate together to form liquid and add light
Mg. carbonate to get free flowing powder.
2) Individual substance powdered separately and mix with
absorbent lightly.
13. (B) CHEMICAL INCOMPATIBILITY:
Definition: It is a result of chemical interaction between
ingredients of preparation and may formed toxic or inactive
preparation.
• Hence, during prescribing prescription care should be taken
to prevent the formation of harmful product.
Reason of chemical incompatibility:
1. Oxidation-reduction
2. Acid-base hydrolysis
3. Combination reaction
14. We can notice these reaction by:
1. Precipitation
2. Effervescence
3. Decomposition
4. Color changes
• Hence it is very necessary, when prescription have
chemical incompatibility should be dispensed after
correction by doctor.
Type of chemical incompatibility:
1. Tolerated
2. Adjusted
15. Tolerated chemical incompatibility:
• We can minimize chemical interaction by changing order of
mixing, but no alteration made in the formulation.
Adjusted chemical incompatibility:
• In which, chemical interaction prevented by altering one
reacting ingredient with another.
Other type of chemical incompatibility:
• Intentional: When doctor intentionally prescribed
incompatible drugs.
• Unintentional: When doctor not know that prescribed
prescription contain incompatible drugs.
16. Examples of chemical incompatibility:
1. Alkaloidal incompatibility
2. Soluble salicylates incompatibility
3. Soluble iodide incompatibility
4. Causing evaluation of CO2 gas
17. (C) THERAPEUTIC INCOMPATIBILITY:
Definition: It is a result of prescribing a drugs by doctor to
patient with intension to produce pharmacological action
but they do not produce it.
Reason of therapeutic incompatibility:
1. Error in dose
2. Wrong dose or dosage form
3. Contra-indicated drugs
4. Synergistic and antagonistic drugs
5. Drug interaction
18. 1. Error in dosage:
• Many therapeutic incompatibility occur due to error in
writing dose.
• Most serious type of dosage error is to dispense overdose of
medicines.
• Hence it is necessary, pharmacist should detect error, when
dispensing medicines.
2. Wrong dose or dosage form:
• In market no. of medicines are available with similar
spelling, look or pronunciation. Hence, may chances of
dispensing wrong drugs.
Eg: prednisone=prednisolone
19. • Also many medicines are available in different dosage form.
• Hence, necessary to mention specific dosage form in
prescription by doctors.
3. Contra-indicated drugs:
• There are many drugs which are contra-indicated to
particular patient, who is allergic to it.
Eg: penicillin is contra-indicated to patient who is allergic to
it.
4. Synergistic and antagonistic drug:
• Many medicines produce synergistic or antagonistic effect,
when administered in combination.
Synergism: Taking two drug together, they increases activity
of each other.
20. Antagonism: Administration of two medicines in
combination may decreases activity of one drug by the other
and not get desired action.
5. Drug interaction: It is a reaction between drug with drug
or drug with food, may decrease the activity of drug or form
undesirable action.
• It may corrected by proper adjusting of dosage, if
interaction detected.
• Eg: Tetracycline become inactive by calcium if taken with
milk.
