TOPIC 1
GENERAL RECIPE

General prescription is a section of pharmacology about the rules for
prescribing, manufacturing and dispensing dosage forms. Dosage forms are made
from medicinal substances. The latter are obtained from medicinal raw materials
and synthetic materials.
Parts of plants, animal organs, products of mineral, bacterial and fungal
origin are used as medicinal raw materials, from which medicinal substances are
obtained using simple or complex processing.
A drug (substance) is an individual chemical compound used as medicine.
A medicinal product (medicine) is a drug that has one or more medicinal
substances in its composition and is produced in a specific dosage form.
A dosage form is a medicinal product that is given a form convenient for
practical use in order to obtain the necessary preventive and therapeutic effect.
Dosage forms by consistency are divided into solid with dense, soft, liquid and
aerosols.
For the unification of the naming of drugs, manufacturing, the
establishment of uniform mandatory methods for determining the quality of
effectiveness and activity, collections are compiled, which are called
pharmacopoeias.Pharmacopoeia is legislative in nature.Its requirements are
mandatory for all enterprises and institutions manufacturing or using medicines.In
Russia, the State Pharmacopoeia is periodically reviewed and the next edition is
prepared. This is currently the XIII edition of the State Pharmacopoeia.
Medicines made according to pharmacopoeia prescriptions are called
official, and according to the doctor's prescriptions - main.
As the main, official name of medicinal substances use the international
chemical nomenclature.
For example, for salts, in the first place in the genitive case (родительном
падеже) indicate the cation, and in the second in the nominative case
(именительном падеже) - the anion (sodium sulfate).
A pharmacy is an institution involved in the preparation, storage and
dispensing of medicines (dosage forms) according to the written requirements
(prescriptions, applications) of doctors.
The pharmacy is placed in a dry, bright and airy room. Its working rooms
should have adequate lighting and good ventilation, tiled floors, and walls and
ceilings with white oil paint, strong hygienic furniture, as well as a sufficient
number of cabinets, safes, refrigerators, appliances, tools, etc. necessary for work
equipment. The exterior door and pharmacy windows are reinforced with metal
bars.
The following rooms are provided in a pharmacy: a reception room in
which they take prescriptions (applications) and dispense drugs; a prescription
room is used for the preparation of dosage forms; a storageroom, for storing a
sufficient supply of medicines; a boiler roomfor producing distilled water, water
3
for injection and the preparation of liquid dosage forms; and a washing room
with drying cabinets.
For qualified work in a pharmacy the presence of the following are
required: a pharmacopeia, reference books, instructions and instructions on the
use of new medicines, tables, advertisements and other information material.
The income and expenditure of therapeutic and prophylactic agents in
pharmacies are taken into account in books in the approved form. The accounting
of toxic and potent substances is kept in special books or magazines, laced and
numbered and stored in a safe.

RULES FOR STORAGE, ACCOUNTING AND DISPOSAL
OF MEDICINES IN THE PHARMACY

According to storage conditions, medicinal substances are divided into
several groups:
1. Poisonous medicinal substances - Venena (list A,list 1);
2. Potent substances - Heroica (list B, list 2);
3. Other medicines that require special storage conditions: protection
from light; to be stored in a cool place; flammable substances (store with caution
from fire) and do not require special storage conditions.

List A combines toxic and narcotic substances that must be stored
separately in safes. These are atropine sulfate, aceclidine, galantamine, diplacin,
ditilin, ketamine hydrochloride, morphine, oxazyl, omnopon, pilocarpine
hydrochloride, proserin, promedol, silver nitrate, securin, physostigmine
salicylate, etc.
The inscriptions on the dishes in which the substances of list A are stored in
the pharmacy should be white on a black background.On the inside of the safe
door should be the inscription "List A" or "Poisonous" and a list of drugs
indicating the highest single and daily doses.The safes in which substances of list
A are stored must be locked and sealed.The key and seal must be kept by the
person responsible for the storage - the chief veterinarian or the pharmacy
manager.
List B includes potent drugs from the group of chemotherapeutic agents,
glucocorticoids, some anesthetics, which should be stored in a pharmacy with
precaution separately from other drugs in cabinets that are locked.The inscriptions
on the cabinets are "List B" or potent.On the dishes in which the medicinal
substancesare stored, the inscriptions are required to be in red on a white
background. All other substances in the pharmacy are stored without restrictions,
subject to general rules. On bottles with such substances, the names are written on
white labels in black ink.
Substances listed in list A and B are released from the pharmacy only
according to doctor’s prescriptions. Group A poisonous substances are released to
4
medical institutions according to special requirements signed by the head of the
institution and certified by a round stamp.
Write off toxic substances based on recipes or acts on their use.
The preparations are not suitable for use and are not subject to dispensing
under the following conditions:
 expired;
 without labels or with labels, but without indicating the necessary
information on them;
 re-frozen and thawed;
 changed external properties (precipitation, mechanical pollution);
 in cracked ampoules, leaking bottles.

RECIPES AND RULES FOR WRITING RECIPES

Prescription (receptum - lat.) - a written request from a doctor to a
pharmacist (in a pharmacy) about the manufacture and dispensing of a medicine
with an indication of its use and dose.A prescription is an official document: it
takes into account the consumption of medicines in a pharmacy, assesses the
correctness of prescribing medicines to a patient. A doctor is personally
responsible for an incorrectly written prescription.In this regard, they use the
established form (see sample) and size (105x148mm) form, which is filled with
ink or paste, in clear handwriting and without errors, corrections are not
allowed.On one form you can write one recipe containing poisonous substances,
or two with ordinary substances, separating one recipe from another with a special
sign (pound) #.On the form containing poisonous substances and ethyl alcohol in
the recipe, they put the stamp of the institution (except for the stamp).Narcotic
substances are prescribed on special forms. Recipes with prescriptions of toxic
and potent substances are valid for no more than 10 days after their issuance, and
in other cases - for 2 months.
Recipe structure. Recipes can be simple or complex, which are not written
arbitrarily, but in a certain sequence and consist of the following parts.
1. The Title (Inscriptio) includes the stamp of the medical institution,
information about the sick animal (type, gender, age, nickname, inventory
number); recipe date, surname and initials of the doctor, and the owner of the
animal.
2. A doctor's call to a pharmacist (Invocatio) is indicated by the word
Recipe (take) in the prescription abbreviate Rp.:.
3. The list of medicinal substances (Designatio materiarum) that are
part of the dosage form in complex recipes is written out in the following strict
sequence:
a) the main active substance (basis), from the action of which the
main therapeutic effect is expected;
5
b) auxiliary (adjuvans), enhancing the action of the main substance,
weakening its side properties or eliminating the complications that arise during
the course and development of the underlying and concomitant diseases.
c) substances that correct the taste or eliminate the unpleasant odor
of medicinal substances (corrigens). Their use ensures the voluntary
administration of drugs by animals.
d) formative substances (constituens), giving the drug the necessary
form. Some substances (sodium chloride, sugar, syrups, etc.) can simultaneously
be used as taste-correcting and form-forming substances.
In this section, the name of each drug substance is capitalized (names of
anions, plant species and their parts with a lowercase letter) in Latin in the
genitive(родительномпадеже) and one below the other; the transferred word or
part of it is written on a new line, stepping back two letters to the right.
In a simple prescription, a ready-made dosage consisting of one medicinal
substance is indicated.
After the name of each component on the right, the quantities of medicinal
substances (respectively, their state of aggregation) are indicated in grams as a
decimal fraction (for powdered substances) with the designation of both the
whole and fractional parts (for example, 3.0 and 1.5) without the name of the unit
of measurement, since grams are also implied in milliliters (ml), but the
possibility of implying this unit of measurement is not excluded.The number of
drops is denoted by Roman numerals (X gtts). The activity of certain antibiotics
and hormonal drugs is in ED, and vitamins in IE, ME.
If several medicinal substances are prescribed in the same quantities in a
row, the quantity is indicated after the last substance, and aa is written before
it(ana - equally).In boluses, pills, cereals and suppositories, it is difficult to
determine the number of excipients, therefore, the designation q.s. is used.
(quantum satis - as needed).
4. Indication of the manufacture, dispensing of the medicine
(Subscriptio) and signature (Signatura) can be indicated in the appropriate
combinations:
a) in underdosed recipes –D.S. (Da - let go, Signa - signify);
b) in dosed - D.t.d. N .... (Da tales doses - let go of such doses by the
number ....) and S .;
c) in complex prescriptions, the designation M.f. (Misce fiat - mix and
get, for example, powder). The dosage form is written with a lowercase letter and
in the nominative case. After the designation q.s. instead of M.f. write ut f. pilula -
to make a pill.
5. The signature section is filled out in the native language or in a
language understood by the owner of the animal or the person who will treat the
patient, and the information should be concise, comprehensive and stated, as a
rule, in strict sequence:
1) route of administration;
2) dose;
6
3) frequency of use;
4) course of treatment (if there is a need for this indication);
5) other instructions: before use, dilute, shake, warm to body
temperature; appoint before feeding or with food, water, etc.
The words “internal”, “intramuscularly”, “intravenously”,
“subcutaneously”, etc. are completely written in the signature. Words such
as “internal,” “known,” etc. are prohibited.
6) The doctor’s signature must be legible and must be stamped.
7) The veterinarian is always obliged to know that the pharmacist must
read the prescription quickly and accurately, understand what substances, in what
dose and in what form to give out to the owner of the animal.
8) A prescription that does not meet at least one of the listed rules,
written in an illiterate manner or containing instructions on the preparation of
irrational medicinal compositions is not accepted by the pharmacist and the
medicine is not prepared for him in the pharmacy. And on the prescription, the
pharmacist puts the stamp ―Prescription is invalid‖ and sends it to the
organization where the veterinarian works.
9) If you need to re-receive the medicine from the pharmacy on the
same prescription form in the upper right corner, without making a new
prescription, you can mark Repetatur! - repeat.And vice versa, so that the
medicine is not released again, you can write: Non repetatur! - do not repeat.If
the patient's condition requires immediate dispensing of the medicine from the
pharmacy, then the following designations are made with an exclamation mark:
Cito! - fast, Statim! - immediately, Antidotum! - antidote.

IRRATIONAL FORMULATIONS AND INCOMPATIBILITIES
OF DRUGS

Irrational prescriptions include dosage forms (solutions, infusions,
decoctions, etc.), prescribed in large volumes.In this case, it is rational to
prescribe the required amount of a medicinal substance (for example, saline
laxatives, disinfectants, crushed parts of plants), and in the signature give
appropriate instructions on the preparation of the dosage form before use.
In the preparation of a complex prescription, the possible pharmaceutical
and pharmacological incompatibility of drugs should be excluded.
Pharmaceutical incompatibility occurs during the chemical interaction of
components, i.e. in the manufacture of dosage forms (acids + alkalis, analgin +
acetylsalicylic acid, anesthesin + chloral hydrate, etc.), in which physicochemical
changes of the drug occur: precipitation, color change, consistency, etc.All this
leads to a loss of pharmacological activity of the ingredients. The drugs become
unusable.
Pharmacological incompatibility of drugs already occurs in the body itself
and is associated with biotransformation of drugs.It manifests itself with the
simultaneous administration of drugs that act on certain systems of the body
antagonistically (a combination of substances that inhibit and excite the central
nervous system, the muscle relaxant effect of diplacin is eliminated by proserin).

HANDLING SAFETY
WITH MEDICINES

Bottles, packages with medicinal substances must have labels of the
corresponding color indicating the name of the substance, date of issue and
receipt.There should not be any foreign objects on the drugstore tables. In the
process of preparing the medicine, one cannot taste the substances, and they
should be sniffed with great care.Carefully dilute the acids by adding them in
small portions to water. Flasks in which the liquid is heated must be kept with the
hole to the side.Do not heat flat-bottomed flasks directly on fire. For personal
safety, it is necessary to know explosive and flammable substances and their
mixtures.It is forbidden to smoke, light matches, and/or turn on electrical
appliances in places where flammable liquids, solids and gaseous substances are
present. Concentrated alkalis and acids should only be poured into specially
designated glass jars placed under a draft.

POWDERS

Pulvis (N. case)
Pulveris (G. case)

A powder is a solid dosage form obtained by grinding medicinal substances
and dried raw materials of any origin.
Powders are convenient, portable and relatively stable during storage; they
are the initial form for the preparation of all other dosage forms; in powders,
many combinations of substances are possible.However, an arbitrary act of
inhalation and exhalation by animals of air does not allow us to appoint powders.
With this in mind, medicinal substances providing voluntary administration are
prescribed with food or water; in other situations (refusal of food, liquid or
medicinal substances of unpleasant taste, smell, irritating effect), powders are
prescribed in dosage forms (solutions, suspensions, medicines, boluses, etc.),
designed for forced use.
The composition distinguishes simple powders, consisting of one
component, and complex, representing a mixture of several ingredients; according
to the method of administration, they are divided into powders for external use
(non-dosed) and powders for internal use (non-dosed and dosed); according to the
degree of how fine they are, the powders are released large, medium, small and
smallest.In recipes, the degree of finest is indicated only for the smallest powder
(pulvis subtilissimus), which is prescribed externally. For powders used
internally, the degree of finest is not indicated in the formulations, it is implied:
fine powders are prescribed with food, and large (well soluble) in the form of
solutions.
Powders for external use are prescribed and dispensed with a total mass,
not dividing into separate doses.They are prescribed in the form of the
smallestpowders (aspersio, aspersionis) for application to mucous membranes,
inflamed wet skin surface and wound surfaces.A variety of fine powders are
dusts.When applied topically, such powders do not cause mechanical irritation,
their pharmacological action is realized more quickly and more fully, they have
an adsorbing, drying and protective effect.If necessary, talc and white clay are
used as fillers, providing additional adsorbing and drying action.
