There are many different types of pill mediums on the market, but the real question is which medium is the most effective. It is crucial to determine the most effective pill medium because it allows consumers to access the best medication on the field that is guaranteed to ease their comfort while they are sick or in pain. There are many ways to determine the effectiveness of medication mediums, but dissolution will be the main focus. Dissolution refers to “the process of a solute dispersing/dissociating in a solvent, forming a molecular level, chemically and physically homogeneous dispersion, called a solution” (Remington Education…). Therefore, in this scenario, the main goal of a dissolution test is to identify information on drug release.
Louise C. Cope et al, investigated the impact of non-medical prescribing. Non-medical prescribing could be evaluated through the NMP, or other health practitioner such as GP, and patients. Currently there is limited information on how NMP has impacted other professions, such as radiographer, optometrists and physiotherapists. Personally, I think this is due to how recent these professions gained the right to prescribe. Most of the findings have been extremely positive, with limited disadvantages. Within this evaluation of NMP “students who are becoming NMPs felt that the programme provided them with adequate knowledge to prescribe with some stating that the period of learning in practice was ‘the most valuable part of the course’”
The quicker the tablets will dissolve because there will be more water. particles to collide with. So the rate increases. * If the amount of tablets being used is increased for the same amount of water, i.e. as concentration increases, rate will increase. increase as well because there will be more collisions between particles.

Why do consumers purchase specific drugs for various ailments, sicknesses or diseases they might have? Why do physicians prescribe certain drugs over competitive drugs that may be available to the public? Why is it that most of us can easily name specific drugs that fit the many ailments of today’s society? On the surface the answer might be as simple as good TV advertising or radio commercials or even internet adds. The truth of matter is the major pharmaceutical manufacturers own the patents on these drugs and this gives them all of the marketing budget and muscle they need to promote the drug and control the pricing. The incentives for larger pharmaceutical companies are very enticing and as a result, they don’t mind spending the time in clinical trials and patent courts to get their drugs approved. Some will even get patents on the process by which the drug is manufactured, ensuring that no competitor can steal the drug or the process. This protects their large financial investment and nearly guarantees a large return for their investors. Many consumer rights groups claim this is nothing more than legalizing monopolies for the biggest manufacturers.
The solubility of a substance depends on the used solvent and the temperature and pressure. Solubility results from simultaneous and opposing dissolution and phase joining.To dissolve is to break into smaller pieces.Even if something’s dissolved, the solute is still there.When something is insoluble, you can’t dissolve it, and you can see it floating on the surface of the water.

In today's world, the subject of abortion is a very controversial issue. Some people are totally decided on pro-life or pro-choice, but most are somewhere in between and have mixed feelings. Abortion has been a very important issue since the early 1980's when the topic started to gain popularity. Since then, horrible things have happened to put abortions in the hot seat. There have been bombings on clinics, murders of abortion doctors, and protests that have turned violent. There should be a more discrete and private way to have an abortion without all those hassles. There has been development of a new pill that can help to cool down some heated abortion issues. The new pill is called the RU-486, or commonly referred to as the morning after pill. If the new pill is made legal, it can create a private way for women to have an abortion without having a surgical procedure done, and the pressures of the surrounding world would not be there influencing their decisions.
Others are progestin-only. Pills contain hormones that work in different ways. The condoms are a sheath made of thin latex or plastic to cover the penis before intercourse to keep sperm from joining the egg. No matter how old one is it is very important to use condoms with another method of birth. There are a large variety of birth control options on the market these days.
San Francisco “a self-proclaimed gay city” is home to two gay men who are partners. One is a HIV- and the other is HIV-positive. Max Cameron and Drew Sebastian are not only a gay couple with ordinary jobs, but both work in the porn industry. According to a documentary PSA from Fusion TV, they work for Treasure Island Media, who was under fire for health law violations, having their actor perform bareback scenes, which is sex without a condom, and having fellow HIV-positive actors star in their productions. Max admits on camera and is shown to be taking an FDA approved pill Truvada produced by the Gilead company according to Barmann. Truvada is pill that prevents the spread of HIV and from people becoming infected from the disease regardless of an individual’s status. When the topic of sex becomes the conversation, many people falter back due to their preconceived notions about sex, and many become uncomfortable. With a controversial subject of HIV, Truvada has been treading the waters for some time; the pill introduced in 2012 is barely making headlines. Truvada a pill that prevents HIV, is hardly being promoted with the fear people would start to have unsafe sex, but if properly endorsed and educated it can present a new way of thinking toward sex and HIV.
Contraception, contragestion, (preventing the fertilized egg from implantation - morning-after-pill) and the chemical or surgical induction of abortion are all types of birth control routes to prevent or end pregnancy (“What”). Contraception is the devices, drugs, agents, sexual practices, or surgical procedures to prevent a pregnancy. Contraception tends to help a women decide if and when she would want to have a baby (“What”). There are around 17 different types of birth control methods. According to the article from Oxford there are three main categories of contraception. They are the barrier methods, intrauterine, and the hormonal methods (“Contraception”). They vary from a pill, patch, shot, an implant and a condom to name a few. The most common type of contraception for women is the birth control pill. This pill includes estrogen and progestin to stop the release of the egg and thin the lining of the uterus. If the contraception device is used correctly, only about 3 in every 1,000 women will beco...
contamination, toxicity, and side effects. Most people believe these medications are compounded or mixed by a trained and licensed individual. However, this is inaccurate because the pharmacy technician actually compounds a large percentage of a patient’s medications. Compounding involves a techn...
Dissolution is the process of a solute dissolving in a solvent. There are three steps to the dissolution process. The first step is the solute particles to break apart. The second step is for the solute ions to enter the liquid. The third and last step is for the solvent molecules to surround the solute ions.
Hormonal contraception refers to “birth control methods that act on the endocrine system” (Correa, Petchesky, 1994, p.3). Throughout history the development of hormonal contraception has been viewed as a wonderful, more convenient method to avoid unwanted pregnancies. This is seen to many as a positive thing for women’s equality. However, hormonal contraception has only been developed for females. Current methods of hormonal contraception have many harmful side effects that can alter the mental and physical health of an individual. These side effects negatively impact on heterosexual women’s lives, as many feel “pressure and responsibility” (Lipton-Lubet, 2012) to take hormonal contraception if they do not want to conceive.

Tabitha and Karina, they were my girls! All three of us were close in age Tabitha had just turned 18 and Karina and I were approaching our 20th birthday.
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent to form a solution [1]. The solubility of a particular substance is dependent on the physical and chemical properties of both the solute and solvent [1]. The temperature, pressure and pH of the solution also has an effect on the solubility. The extent of the solubility of a certain solute in a particular solvent is measured as saturation, where adding more solute will not increase the concentration of the solution and will precipitate the excess in the solution.
