Could you give examples of diff. types of solutions used in medicine and importance of solution in medicine?

When we inject drugs into people, they are in solution.  It's tough to get chunks of medicine through needles, and they would just cause an emboulus anyway.

Oh, is someone trying to do their homework online?\nWell let me get out my best shot, this was like 300 years ago. so anyway:\n\nMixture is a combination of two or more different particles that do not react one another. For example salt and sugar.\n\nSolution is a homogeneous mixture in which one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent). Example: sugary water (water as the solvent plus sugar as the solute produces the solution of sugary water\n\nA solution is always a mixture because you have two or more ingredients that dont' react with one another, so its always a mixture because there are two or more reacting ingredients. However, not every mixture is a solution, because there are two ore more ingredients however, they dont get dissolved or mixed with one another.

Yes you can, you can find information about medications and whether you can mix certain ones on Medline Plus

In the past medicines were usually discovered by looking at the effect extracts from plants or other materials had on patients. Many treatments were described by the ancient Egyptians on medicinal papyri, these were then added to by the Greeks, Arabs and Europeans. Many of these like Morphine for the treatment of pain are still used today. These early medicines were then used to understand the biological mechanisms by which they work.\nNowadays scientists start with the mechanism and try to find molecules that block that mechanism and hopefully treat the illness. In a laboratory chemists can design and make many. many molecules these are then tested by biologists to see if they have the desired effect. Those molecules that have the correct activity are then subjected to a huge array of tests to see if they work in the illness but also don't cause any unwanted side-effects. This process can take upto ten years and cost 1 billion dollars!\nIf you want to read more try this book\nMeasly Medicine\nA romp through the history of healthcare, from Stone Age trepanning and the dodgy diagnostics of the Middle Ages to modern miracles and medical marvels.\nISBN: 0 439 95581 5.

In the pharmaceutical industry, the precipitation of active pharmacuetical ingredients to their solid form is very key.  This is because the different solvents and or precipitation conditions can potentially form different polymorphic forms (they can pack in different repeatable patterns when precipitating) that can be redissolved differently and even have different melting points.  The importance of this is that each polymorphic form can be patented independently which essentially for lisencing purposes makes it a new drug free of patent restrictions since its redissolution properties are most likely different (which is related to drug delivery in vivo).\n\nThe overall purity of a product can be changed by altering the precipitation conditions.  The goal is to find a set of conditions that are most selective to the molecule of interest over undesirables.

Pharmacology..because it is more diverse.

solution:\nA homogeneous, liquid mixture of two or more substances.\n\nsolvent: The dissolving agent of a solution. Water is the most versatile solvent known.\n\nsolute:\nA substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Yes.  Solutions are made when two a substance (solute) is dissolved in another substance (solvent).  In this case, it is a homogeneous mixture since it is consistent throughout, otherwise, it would be called a heterogeneous mixture.

Why is this in the chemistry section?  Perhaps this would be more likely to get a reasonable answer if you put it in the medicine group?

It is a chemical that you keep at all times.  In a typical lab that would include acid, bases, certain organic solvents, etc.  You will also hear stock solutions which are solutions of these chemicals.  Do not confuse these with standard solutions which are solutions where the concentration is exactly known.

Has some good examples of different types!!!!

Hospital: formularies and standard protocols.  Docs (especially old-school ones) do NOT like this at all because they think it's taking away their ability to practice medicine.  But when used as a strong suggestion or guideline, formularies and standard protocols can be helpful.  Most hospitals have standard protocols for at least some procedures/events (hip replacement surgery, MI with Integrilin, diabetic ketoacidosis are just 3 I can think of at the hospital I was at.)

You could also try\nwww.rxlist.com\nthey shurely describe the mode of action\n\nFor chemical structures try\nwww.wikipedia.org\nthey should cover a lot of the substances, I guess.

Huh?  Please, provide examples of what you are talking about so that we can respond.

western medicine is better at curing, and alternative is better at prevention. I don't have experience with Eastern medical practices.

It all depends on what it is? There are many different ways to take medicine. Inhale - ie: alburteral,nasel spray\n                         swallow - ie: pills\n                         drink - ie: liquid medicine\n                         topical ie: cream ( wounds, scratches,burns)\n                         \nJust a few examples.
