1. Geometric Dilution & Divided Powders: Scopolamin (Green food coloring) charts Calculations: 0.5 mg Scopolamine HBr (Green food coloring) 200 mg Lactose D.T.D. 5 charts LWQ on electronic balance = 50 mg Describe how you will make this formulation accurately, considering the LWQ of the electronic balance = 50 mg. Show all your work, and complete calculations for 1 extra chart (total of 6 charts) to account for the loss of materials. 1. Number of Charts required in the prescription (considering 1 extra chart): mg 2. Amount of drug required in each chart: 3. Amount of Drug required for all the charts in the prescription (with 1 extra chart): - 4. Amount of Drug weighed based on LWQ: _ mg 5. Decide the amount of aliquot to be taken from 1" mix that will contain the required amount of drug in the prescription for 6 charts and lactose mix: mg. (The 1" mix is the mixture of amount of drug weighed in Step 4 and the amount of lactose to be added as calculated in Step 7). 6. Calculate the amount of Lactose needed based on the amount of drug required (i.e. amount of mixture decided in Step 5 - amount of drug required as in Step 3): mg 7. Calculate the amount of Lactose required based on the amount of drug weighed as in Step 4 [i.e. (Step 6 X Step 4) /Step3): mg 8. Total amount of powder required for 6 charts (considering 200 mg powder/chart X # of charts): mg 9. 2" mix: Amount of lactose required to as for the entire prescription for the 2 mix (Step 8 - Step 5): mg
