We continue our series of displacement value calculations. This is another example, involving suppositories where the displacement value is less than one.

In this episode we see how a displacement value less than one does not change the fundamental calculations involving displacement values. However, it does mean that the suppositories weigh less than their nominal weight.

In this video we look at how to calculate the displacement value, given other relevant parameters, when considering suppositories.

In today’s example we look at a calculation for a solid-in-liquid formulation involving the reconstitution of a powder for injection.

In this episode we continue looking at displacement value calculations involving suppositories. Pause the video after the question and try to work it out before viewing the answer.

Understanding displacement value calculations is a challenge for a large number of pharmacy graduates, especially in relation to suppositories. This example shows how to tackle one such question. Look out for our Displacement Values Masterclass for a more comprehensive tutorial.

In this episode, we look at the top news from UK pharmacy for the week ending 2 May 2020.
