    BASIC PRINCIPLES OF

    COMPOUNDING AND
    DISPENSING
    CONTENTS:
    Weights, measures and units.
    Calculations for compounding and dispensing.
    Fundamental operations in compounding.
    Containers and closures for dispensed products.
    Handling and parts of prescriptions.
    Labeling of dispensed medicine.
    OBJECTIVES:
    At the end of the lecture students will be able to:
    Define metric system and SI unit.
    List down different SI Units.
    Describe the standard prefixes for SI Units.
    List down the units of mass (weights),amount of
    substance, capacity ( volume),concentrations, length,
    radiation.
    WEIGHT,MEASURES
    AND UNITS
    DEFINITION:
    A system of measurement is a set of units which can be
    used to specify anything which can be measured.
    METRIC SYSTEM:
    The metric system, including the metre, was first fully
    described by Englishman John Wilkins in 1668.
    Metric systems of units have evolved since the adoption of the
    first well-defined system in France in 1795.
    In the early metric system there were two fundamental or base
    units, the metre for length and the gram for mass.
    Cont………………
    A number of variations on the metric system have been in use.
    These include:
     MTS
     MNS
    Gravitational systems
    CGS
    MKS (MKSC & MKSA) systems
    INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF
    UNIT:
    The current international standard metric system is the
    International System of Units (was developed in 1960). It
    is an MKS system based on the metre, kilogram and
    second as well as the kelvin, ampere, candela, and mole.
    Cont……..
    The SI includes two classes of units:
    the seven SI base units for length, mass, time,
    temperature, electric current, luminous intensity and
    amount of substance.
    The second of these are the SI derived units. All other
    quantities (e.g. work, force, power) are expressed in terms
    of SI derived units
