Implants,Parenteral (GK, para enteron, beside the intestine) dosage forms differ from all other drug dosage forms,because they are injected directly into body tissue through the primary protective system of the human body,the skin,and mucous membrane.
2. Parenteral (GK, para enteron, beside the intestine) dosage forms differ from all other drug dosage
forms,because they are injected directly into body tissue through the primary protective system of the human
body,the skin,and mucous membrane.
CHARACTERISTICS
●
All products must be sterile.
●
All products must be free from pyrogenic
contamination.
●
Product should be isotonic,although strictness of
isotonicity depends on the route of administration.
●
IV infusion must be isotonic.
ADVANTAGES
●
Use for patient who can not drugs orally.
●
Rapid onset of action.
●
Useful for emergency situations.
●
Providing sustained drug delivery,avoid first pass
metabolism.
●
Can inject drug directly into a tissue.
DISADVANTAGES
●
Pain on injection.
●
Difficult to reverse an administered drug effect
●
Trained persons is required.
●
Required specialized equipment,devices,and
techniques to prepare administer drugs .MORE
expensive and costly to produce.

6. PRODUCTION OF PARENTERAL PRODUCTS
Production of parenteral product is different
from production of other Pharmaceutical
preaparations.The guidelines regarding the entry
of micro- organisms and impurities are more
stingent as compared to non sterile dosage forms.
The general procedure for manufacture of
parenteral products :
1.Preparation of soluton
2.Sterilisation
3.Processing of sterile products
4.Termination sterilisation
5.Sterilisation by filtration
6.Aseptic preparation.
7.Filling packaging and labelling
ISOTONICITY
For a solution to be termed as isotonic (equal
tone) it must have the same osmotic pressure as
that of specific body fluids( blood plasma or any
specific fluid)
Examples of tonicity modifiers -sodium
chloride,potassium chloride, dextrose
mannitol,sorbitol.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ISOTONICITY
7. WATER FOR INJECTION(WFI)
Procedure for production of WFI
1.Compression distillation
2.Multiple effect still
3.Reverse osmosis
LARGE VOLUME PARENTERALS (LVP)
TYPES: 1.Hyper alimentation solution
2.Cardiolplagic solution
3.Peritonial dialysis solutions
4.Irrigating solution
SMALL VOLUME PARENTERALS (SVP)
