OBJECTIVES:
1. To explain what coarse dispersions are and their characteristics.
2. To study the influence of suspending agent on the sedimentation
parameters in a suspension.
A pharmaceutical suspension
is a coarse dispersion in which
internal phase ( therapeutically
active ingredient ) is dispersed
uniformly throughout the
external phase.
 Emulsions

• A biphasic liquid preparation containing two

immiscible liquids, one of which is dispersed as

a minute globules into the other.
