1. The need for dosage forms Besides providing the mechanism for the safe and convenient delivery of accurate dosage, dosage forms are needed for additional reasons. Protection from oxygen and humidity(coated tablets, sealed ampuls)
1. The need for dosage forms Besides providing the mechanism for the safe and convenient delivery of accurate dosage, dosage forms are needed for additional reasons: 1) Protection from oxygen and humidity (coated tablets, sealed ampuls)
2)Protection from gastric acid after oral administration(enteric- coated tablets) 3)To conceal the bitter salty, or offensive taste or odor of a arug substance(capsules? coated tablets, flavored syrups)
