Question

question 4 (4 points) why do all of the tablets need to be triturated seperately? (4 pts)

Explanation:

Triturating tablets separately is often done to ensure uniform particle size, avoid cross - contamination between different tablet formulations (if they have different active ingredients or excipients), and to accurately control the amount of each tablet's components when further processing (like compounding). Also, different tablets may have different hardness or composition, so triturating them separately helps in achieving consistent results in subsequent steps such as mixing with other substances or formulating a new dosage form.

Answer:

Tablets are triturated separately to ensure uniform particle size, prevent cross - contamination (if different formulations), accurately control component amounts for further processing, and account for differences in hardness/composition between tablets to achieve consistent results in subsequent steps (e.g., compounding).
