Used as an inert atmosphere to retard oxidation to sensitive products like Cid Liver Oil, olive oil, multiple vitamin preparations, etc.

Sodium thiosulfate

Aka: Hypo


The oxidation polarity of sulfur allows the compoundbto act as a reducing agent


Antidote for cyanide poisoning


Used in solution containing iodides (ex. KI solution at 0.05%)

Sodium nitrite

Nitrites can act both as a reducing and oxidizing agent. Reduction of compounds with sodium nitrite results in the formation of nitrates.


Antidote for cyanide poisoning

Nitrates

Reduction of compounds with sodium nitrite results in the formation of ____

Pure water

Is a tasteless, odorless, clear liquid which is colorless in small quantities and greenish blue in deep layers

Water

Is the solvent of choice for most liquid preparations due to the ff. properties:


Small size


High dielectric constant


Strong permanent dipole


Availability of protins for hydrogen bonding

Water

Is also predominant in the body thatbis why toxicity is of lesser concern.


Due to its solvent powers and physiological inertness, is an extremely important pharmaceutical agent.

Saline waters

Also known as purgative waters contains large amounts of magnesium and sodium sulfates with sodium chloride

Sulfur waters

Have hydrogen sulfide

Siliceous waters

Contains very small amounts of soluble alkali silicates

Hardness of water

Tia property is due to the presence pf varying amounts of Ca, Fe and Mg soluble salts which convert ordinary soap into water insoluble calcium, iron and/or magnesium salts of fatty acids
