Option Topic Practical Assessment

Dear All,

You may have noticed that the option topic session for Friday 24th March has been removed from your timetable. It was not possible for us to run the assessment this week and we will be in touch with further information and a date for the practical assessment before the start of the spring vacation.

Best wishes,

Tracey

Flavourings in medicines

In preparation for this weeks practical session, we would like you to think about the use of flavourings in oral liquid medicines. Are the flavouring only used to make the medicine taste nice or is there more to it than that? Do some flavouring have a therapeutic use and do some flavourings mask the taste of certain medicines better than others? Are there any incompatibilities between certain flavours and the active product ingredient?

These are a few of the questions that could be asked about flavourings so have a think, see what information you can find and share your thoughts with the group.
