Question 1
A prescription requires 60 g of a 2% w/w hydrocortisone ointment, but only a 1% w/w base stock and pure hydrocortisone powder are available. How much pure hydrocortisone powder must be added to 60 g of the 1% ointment to raise it to 2% w/w (assume final mass increases by the powder added)?
Correct Answer:
Approximately 0.61 g
Question 2
Most small-molecule drugs degrading by hydrolysis follow first-order kinetics. If a solution has a shelf-life (t90) of 24 months at 25 degrees C, what is the most accurate statement about the relationship between t90 and the rate constant k?
Correct Answer:
t90 = 0.105/k, derived from the first-order integrated rate law for 10% loss
Question 3
A pharmacist must accelerate stability testing for a new oral solution. According to the Arrhenius relationship, what is the primary rationale for storing samples at elevated temperatures (e.g. 40 and 50 degrees C)?
Correct Answer:
Reaction rate increases predictably with temperature, allowing extrapolation of degradation back to storage conditions
Question 4
A child-resistant container is required for a dispensed solid oral dosage form. Which feature defines a container as 'child-resistant' under good pharmacy practice packaging standards?
Correct Answer:
It is significantly difficult for most children under 5 to open but not unduly difficult for adults to use correctly
Question 5
When formulating an aqueous oral solution for a poorly water-soluble weak acid drug, raising the pH above the drug's pKa will most likely:
Correct Answer:
Increase aqueous solubility because more drug exists in the ionised (salt) form
