Powder is easy to compress under pressure and form into tablets.  Maize starch in particular dissolves quickly in liquid and therefore releases the active ingredient into the patient's system.

Starch is a natural polymer.  It won't dissolve until you start breaking the bonds joining the monomer units (beta glucose, if I recall correctly).

A corn is a small area of of thickened skin on a toe as a result of excess pressure, normally from ill fitting footware.\nIt is the body's natural defense to prevent skin breakdown in much the same way callus' develop on the hands etc.\nTreatment includes the use of spongy rings or corn pads to relieve pressure from the area.\nEnsuring correctly fitting shoes are worn will prevent corns from developing but if they are causing problems they can be removed by a Chiropodist.\n\nRegards, Chris.

Haystar P from Haytak FZE is used for the above application.\n\nThe main requirement for Oil Well Drilling Applications is that the starch is soluble at room (or desert) temperature. Normal plain starch dissolves only when boiling. This would be unpractical at the rig site. In order to modify the native starch to become water soluble at room temperature, the most successful way is by extrusion. This machine, usually very expensive and big, continuously heats, pressurizes and mixes the native starch with any additional required additives. As a result, a granulated high temperature starch is produced, which has many applications in addition to Drilling Starch. This product is also used in Foods as well as Paints, Cardboard and Paper industry. \nObviously, the higher temperature the starch is run at in the extruder, the higher it can withstand during drilling!

I'm assuming you're asking so you can make some so I posted a recipe for it below. The link below takes you to several other recipies for it.\n\n\nSILLY PUTTY   \n\nElmer's Glue\nLiquid cornstarch (available in a grocery store)\n\nMix equal parts of starch and glue (5 teaspoons of each is generally a good amount to work with). If the mixture is too stiff, add more glue. If the mixture is too runny, add more starch. Wipe off any excess starch and you have silly putty! Try stretching it, pulling it apart sharply, or bouncing it on the floor. CAUTION: It sticks to rugs! (From the "Sticky Business" Room at The Children's Discovery Museum, Acton, MA)

A solution cannot have a structure unless it is frozen solid. Starch will be present in the hemiacetal form in it.

No, it is not true.  Cortisone is regulated by the government and is a prescription drug; they cannot put it in over the counter items.

I would guess powdered sugar or corn starch.

it would appear the protein and starches are combined as the seed or grain and must be chemically separated to produce pure starch. see the sites below.\nand there is no endosperm?.\n\nhttp://www.starch.dk/isi/\nstarch/rice.htm\n\nhttp://www.ars.usda.gov/is/\npr/2005/050128.htm

Sugar may crystallize out of the medicine.  If you've seen really old cough syrup you may have noticed a white hard lump on the bottom due to crystallized sugar.  Its easier to handle liquids than solids, so many products have replaced sugar with high fructose corn syrup.  In children's medicines, though, they're using artificial sweeteners to get the same effect because they can use very small amounts compared to the high fructose corn syrup necessary, and with minimal "odd taste" effects due to this small amount.  This is also beneficial because cough syrups are often a complex mixture and any additives may have unusual reactivity properties, so keeping the total additive amount to a minimum will minimize those problems.\n\nI'm with you, I wish they'd just use sugar even though it'd possibly cut down on the shelf life, at least sugar is completely natural.  As a chemist, I'm particularly concerned about the long-term safety and wisdom of using organochlorines as food products (i.e. sucralose [1]).  \n\nThere isn't much point in being furious alone.  Write to the companies that manufacture the products with the artificial sweeteners and let them know your conviction, and the reasons behind it.  I'm afraid without consumer or federal feedback there will be no reason to change current business practices.

Glucosamine Condroiton, you can get it at Wal-Mart and other places.  I've even seen it at Aldis.

try corn silk tea.  Get fresh corn with the shuck and silk still on it.  Take the silk and put in a pot and add water and let it boil until it has a light golden color.  Strain it and drink the liquid.

Mix cornstarch and water.  It is neither a solid or a liquid, really cool to mess around with, and scientific too.  Search 'cornstarch and water' and you will find lots of info about this strange mixture.

"Demulcent herbs often have a high content of mucilage, and have been used to soothe and protect irritated or inflamed internal tissues of the body."\n\nCorn silk is the stuff you see in threads popping out of corn in the store - it's the stamens that collect the pollen from the corn plant's flowering part.

It may be a generic version of Hydrocortisone a class of drugs called steroids. You can use the wizard at:\n\nhttp://www.drugs.com/pill_identification.html\n\nto view pictures or search for other possibilities. Nothing came up with rx625, so I just entered the 625. You can also take it to your local pharmacist for identification.

"Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate" sold with different proprietary names in different countrie but mostly " Wymesone" is the most effective and you need a shot or two . Not more.\nGood luck
