Names of drugs, including the designation of the dosage form

1. If the dosage form given to a medicinal substance or herbal raw material is indicated in the name of the preparation, then the name begins with its designation, followed by the name of the medicinal substance or raw material.

On the labels, the name "Dosage form" is put in it. p. units hours, and for some dosage forms - in them. n. pl. h. The name of the medicinal substance or plant is placed in the genus. p. units hours and is written with a capital letter, for example: Solutio Imizini - imizin solution, Suspensio Zymosani - zymosan suspension, Linimentum Streptocidi - streptocid liniment, Unguentum Aceclidini - aceclidin ointment, Tabulettae Analgini - analgin tablets, Pulvis Ampicillini - ampicillin powder, etc.

In the Latin names of drugs, the name of a medicinal substance or plant is, as a rule, a noun and performs the function of an inconsistent definition. In Russian, such a name can be translated as a noun into the gender. n. or adjective.

Types of translations of Latin names

Latin name of the drug - Russian name of the drug

2. The name of the combined medicinal product accompanying the designation "dosage form" is a noun in it. etc., placed in quotation marks as an inconsistent application to the designation "dosage form", for example: Tabulettae "Urosalum" - tablets "Urosal", Unguentum "Calendula" - ointment "Calendula", etc.

3. In the names of infusions and decoctions, between the designations "Dosage form" and "Plants" is in the genus. n. name of the type of raw material (leaf, herb, bark, root, flowers, etc.), for example: Infusum florum Chamomillae - infusion of chamomile flowers, Infusum radicis Valerianae - infusion of valerian root, etc.

4. An agreed definition characterizing the dosage form takes the last place in the name of the drug: for example, Unguentum Hydrargyri cinereum - gray mercury (mercury) ointment, Solutio Synoestroli oleosa - solution of sinestrol in oil (oily), Solutio Tannini spirituosa alcohol tannin solution, Extractum Belladonnae siccum - extract of belladonna (belladonna) dry.

Latest news of science and technology, new electronics:

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Random news from the Archive How the ant hurried home 04.09.2005 Ants of one of the South American species, living in the Amazon rainforests high in the crowns of trees, are able, falling from a height of several tens of meters, to somehow control their fall. The wind, swinging the branches, often throws the ants off, but as a result, they almost always land on the trunk of the same tree from which they fell. American entomologist Stefan Janovyak dropped 120 ants from a branch at a height of 27 meters. Of these, 102 hit the tree trunk, and after 10 minutes most returned to the same branch. How the ants do this is not clear, it is only noticed that in the air they turn over to fall head first. A slip past the native tree means almost certain death for the ant - the brothers in the neighboring trees will not accept it.
