SESSION CONTENTS
STEP 1: Presentation of Session Title and Learning Tasks (5 minutes)
READ or ASK students to read the learning objectives and clarify
ASK students if they have any questions before continuing.
STEP 2: Procedures for Preparing Solutions of Solid in Liquid (30 minutes)
Activity: Buzzing (5 minutes)
ASK students to pair up and buzz on the following question for 2 minutes
ALLOW few pairs to respond and let other pairs to add on points not mentioned
WRITE their response on the flip chart/board

uniform doses by volume may be obtained without any need to shake the formulation.

dispersed in a liquid (the continuous phase or dispersion medium)
o Write out the formula either from the prescription (unofficial) or from an official
text (official).
o Calculate the quantities required for each ingredient in the formula to produce the
required final volume.
o Prepare a suitable label.
o Weigh all solids in case of liquid to liquid solution measure the accurate volumes
required.
o Identify the soluble solids and calculate the quantity of vehicle required to
dissolve the solids fully. If more than one solid is to be dissolved, they are
dissolved one by one, in order of solubility (i.e. the least soluble first).

o Transfer the appropriate amount of vehicle to a glass beaker.
o If necessary, transfer the solid to a mortar and use the pestle to reduce particle
size to aid dissolution
o Transfer the solid to the beaker and stir to aid dissolution. If a mortar and pestle
have been used to reduce particle size, ensure that the mortar is rinsed with a little
vehicle to ensure complete transfer of the powders.
o When all the solid(s) has/have dissolved, transfer the solution to the conical
measure that will be used to hold the final solution.
o Rinse out the beaker in which the solution was made with a portion of the vehicle
and transfer the rinsing to the conical measure.
o Add any remaining liquid ingredients to the conical measure and stir.
o Make up to final volume with remaining vehicle.
o Transfer to a suitable container, label and dispense to the patient.
o Write out the formula either from the prescription (unofficial) or from an official
text (official).
o Calculate the quantities required for each ingredient in the formula to produce the
required final volume.
o Prepare a suitable label.
o Weigh all solids and measure the accurate volumes of the liquids required.
o The solids, if necessary, are reduced to a fine powder in a mortar and mixed
thoroughly mixed with any included suspending agents.
o The small proportion of the vehicle is added and triturated until a smooth creamy
paste free from lumps is formed.
o If there are soluble solids, they are dissolved in the vehicle and the solution is
added in portions to the mortar and the mixture is triturated to a smooth
consistency after each addition.
o Then the mixture is transferred to conical measure.
o The vehicle is used to rinse the mortar and make up to final volume.
o Then transferred to suitable container, label and ready for dispensing to a patient.

on how to carry out the preparation, although the general procedures remain as mentioned
on step 2 above.
Activity: Demonstration (45 minutes)
DIVIDE students in small manageable groups.
PREPARE equipment and materials needed for demonstration
POSITION students so that everyone can see and hear
REVIEW steps of preparing solution of solid in liquid with students

minutes)
with any included suspending agent. Then a small portion of the vehicle is added and
triturated until a smooth creamy paste free from lumps is formed. When viscous liquids
like syrup or glycerol are used or any wetting agent are included in the formula, these are
used to form the paste. Soluble solids are dissolved in the vehicle and the solution is
added in portions to the mortar: the mixture should be triturated to smooth consistency
after each addition. When the volume is to be made up, sufficient vehicle should remain
to rinse the mortar properly.

Worksheet 13.1: Practice on Compounding of Solutions and
Mixtures
Instructions: Under facilitator‟s supervision students in small manageable groups should
practice on preparing the following liquid preparations, pack and label them ready for
dispensing.
The official formula for each preparations are obtained in Tanzania Pharmaceutical
Handbook (TPH), other Compedia may be used for more references
After compounding students will write a report on each preparation showing clearly the
official formula, all calculations performed, methods used for preparation, container used to
pack, use of each ingredient, and labels in English and in Swahili languages.
NOTE: For the preparations to be dispensed to patients should be attached with Swahili label
and preparations for Hospital or Laboratory use should be attached with English label
