Will it survive OTR in an 18-wheeler from New Jersey to the Bitter Springs, TX Medical Arts Pharmacy and six months shelf life without losing potency, decomposing or melting into a glob?\n\nIf not, how about refrigerated?\n\nWhat is the expiration date for each?\n\nSomething like that?

API is the active ingredient – the ingredient that gives you the pharmaceutical effect you’re looking for in a particular product.  For example, the active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen, which relieves pain and/or reduces fever.  The other ingredients are fillers, carriers and buffers.  Pills often have starches, dextrins, etc. in the formula so they can press them into tablets.  \nThe API must be the first thing on the ingredient list of the label, with how much each pill contains (e.g. acetaminophen, 500 mg), followed by Purpose (of the API) and then Use (further explain why you would take it) and so on.   So yes, it is the finished, manufactured, product.

Because drug companies are not looking for a cure, they are looking for a band aid pill.  Something that you have to buy over and over and over and over and over, called a "maintenance" drug.  They are the biggest drug dealers in the world.

It means that it is a drug made by a different manufacturer than the original name brand drug. Both drugs have the same active ingredient, but they have a different manufacturing process. A drug usually goes generic -meaning that other drug manufacturers can make it after it has been on the market for twenty years I think.

It depends on the pharmacy.\n\nI know patients that have not been able to stabilize their thyroid levels on generics, but they HAVE on Synthroid.\n\nSome docs don't agree, but it sounds like your doc has seen patients like I have.

Best way to research this is webMD.com.  Call any pharmacist and they will give you all the details and may even have a pamphlet they can give you.

With the system proccess you mean in software development?\n \nReusability - your programs - elements- must be reusable in other contexts.\n\nConsistency - Your programs should be consistent, Data consistent means no mather where you see or use the data, the data most be the same. Consistency on the interfase, means that all the screens the user will see must have an standard.

Generic Pharmaceutical is the same as generic drugs.\n\nQuoted from the source below -\n"Generic drugs” is a term used for prescription drugs identified by their chemical name.  When the patent has expired on a brand name drug, the FDA permits manufacturers other than the original developer to create a bioequivalent of the brand name drug and make it available to the public.  Generally, more than one manufacturer will create the generic version, although in many cases the same pharmaceutical firm that produces the brand name drug also makes the generic version.  This prompts competitive pricing of the generic version and usually results in a less expensive drug.

They were jars that pharmacists and chemists kept drugs/chemicals in - many years ago.  (Pharmacists used to have jars of "ingredients".  When a customer came into the store, he would tell the pharmacist/chemist what he needed or what his symptoms were, and the pharmacist/chemist would mix a "formula" (ingredients from different jars).  Drugs were not regulated or prepackaged/measured as they are now.) \n\nNow, seeing as they do not have that use any longer, they are used as decoration now - trinkets jars, etc.

The FDA is in charge of food safety/nutrition, and drug evaluation and research.  Food and drugs are consumable items and both are health related.

It is generally a good idea to refrigerate all antibiotics in ampules or pills if the temperature is likely to get above 30 deg C. It can do no harm and greatly increases shelf life for most medications.

This is an easy one!\n\nLong lasting- acts on the person over an extended period of time.\n\nExtended release- acts on the person over a shorter period of time, but may take a short period of time for it to have an effect.\n\nControlled release- acts on the person when the person requires the effects of the drug, such a drug is hard to manufacture.\n\nVOTE FOR BIG LINH HE NEEDS POINTS :P

Generally in pharmacy QC works as right hand as well as QC Chemist,They will do the quality best.Product must be in their control ,there may not be any culprits in product,Maintenance of product standard,it is their duty.

In the pharmaceutical industry, the precipitation of active pharmacuetical ingredients to their solid form is very key.  This is because the different solvents and or precipitation conditions can potentially form different polymorphic forms (they can pack in different repeatable patterns when precipitating) that can be redissolved differently and even have different melting points.  The importance of this is that each polymorphic form can be patented independently which essentially for lisencing purposes makes it a new drug free of patent restrictions since its redissolution properties are most likely different (which is related to drug delivery in vivo).\n\nThe overall purity of a product can be changed by altering the precipitation conditions.  The goal is to find a set of conditions that are most selective to the molecule of interest over undesirables.

In my years of teaching, it seems that everything in chemistry is related to stability.  The network solids are very stable structures and form strong bonds.  \n\nA melting point in chemical terms is when the physical property of heat is capable of changing the configuration of the bonds.  This configuration will be resistant to change if it is in a stable state, because the change to the liquid form is an increase in entropy (chaos).  Therefore a high temperature would be required to change the form.

I tried to do a quick search, but couldn't find anything. I suggest you try asking your pharmacist or doctor. They would probably know. Sorry I wasn't much help.

First off, you should call your doctor.  But rest assured, the body can take 3--6 frustrating months to stabilize when on a pill.  This could be your bodies way of reacting to the new pill, or this may not be the best pill for you.  Work with your doctor to find the best answer for you!
