c. 10-mg tablets d. 5-mg tablets
IH is a 42-year-old male patient suffering from chronic back pain due to a workplace injury. He is currently taking one-half of a 2-mg levorphanol tartrate tablet every 6 hours to manage his pain but consults his doctor about switching to BUTRANS weekly buprenorphine transdermal patches for convenience. BUTRANS transdermal delivery systems are available in strengths of 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 mcg/h. What strength of patch should be used for this patient?
NT is taking two PERCOCET tablets each containing 7.5 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen every 4 hours to manage his pain. His physician wants to switch him to oxymorphone extended­release tablets for improved pain control. Oxymorphone extended­release tablets are available in strengths of 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 mg to be given every 12 hours. What should be the dose and dosage regimen for this patient?
A patient is receiving morphine sulfate intravenously via a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. The concentration of the solution is 15 mg/mL and is being infused at a rate of 0.1 mL/h. The patient may access a 2-mg bolus dose every hour for breakthrough pain and is currently using an average of 8 doses per day. The patient’s caregiver requests that the patient be converted to a fentanyl transdermal patch (DURAGESIC) for a “more safe dosage form.” What strength of fentanyl patch would be most effective for this patient?
Creatinine Clearance Calculations

Isotonic and Buffer Solutions
OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this chapter, the student will be able to:
Calculate the dissociation factor (i) of a chemical agent. Calculate the sodium chloride equivalent (E-value) of a chemical agent. Demonstrate by calculation whether a solution is hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic. Perform calculations required in the preparation of isotonic solutions. Calculate the pH of a buffer solution. Determine the amounts of components needed to prepare a buffer at a specific pH.
Introduction
When a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a more concentrated one, the concentrations become equalized and the phenomenon is known as osmosis. The pressure responsible for this phenomenon is termed osmotic pressure and varies with the nature of the solute.
If the solute is a nonelectrolyte, its solution contains only molecules and the osmotic pressure varies with the concentration of the solute. If the solute is an electrolyte, its solution contains ions and the osmotic pressure varies with both the concentration of the solute and its degree of dissociation. Thus, solutes that dissociate present a greater number of particles in solution and exert a greater osmotic pressure than do undissociated molecules.
Two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure are termed isosmotic. Many solutions intended to be mixed with body fluids are designed to have the same osmotic pressure for greater patient comfort, efficacy, and safety. A solution having the same osmotic pressure as a specific body fluid is termed isotonic (meaning of equal tone) with that specific body fluid.
Solutions of lower osmotic pressure than that of a body fluid are termed
hypotonic, whereas those having a higher osmotic pressure are termed hypertonic. Pharmaceutical dosage forms intended to be added directly to
the blood or mixed with biological fluids of the eye, nose, and bowel are of

principal concern to the pharmacist in their preparation and clinical application.
Special Clinical Considerations of Tonicity
It is generally accepted that for ophthalmic and parenteral administration, isotonic solutions are better tolerated by the patient than those at the extremes of hypo- and hypertonicity. With the administration of an isotonic solution, there is a homeostasis with the body’s intracellular fluids. Thus, in most instances, preparations that are isotonic, or nearly so, are preferred. However, there are exceptions, as in instances in which hypertonic solutions are used to “draw” fluids out of edematous tissues and into the administered solution.
Most ophthalmic preparations are formulated to be isotonic, or approximately isotonic, to duplicate ophthalmic tears for the comfort of the patient. These solutions are also prepared and buffered at an appropriate pH, both to reduce the likelihood of irritation to the eye’s tissues and to maintain the stability of the preparations.
Injections that are not isotonic should be administered slowly and in small quantities to minimize tissue irritation, pain, and cell fluid imbalance. The tonicity of small-volume injections is generally inconsequential when added to large-volume parenteral infusions because of the presence of tonic substances, such as sodium chloride or dextrose in the large-volume
infusion, which serve to adjust the tonicity of the smaller added volume.
1
Intravenous infusions that are hypotonic or hypertonic can have profound adverse effects because they generally are administered in large
volumes.1 Large volumes of hypertonic infusions containing dextrose, for example, can result in hyperglycemia, osmotic diuresis, and excessive loss of electrolytes. Excess infusions of hypotonic fluids can result in the osmotic hemolysis of red blood cells and surpass the upper limits of the body’s capacity to safely absorb excessive fluids. Even isotonic fluids, when infused intravenously in excessive volumes or at excessive rates, can be deleterious due to an overload of fluids placed into the body’s circulatory system.
Physical/Chemical Considerations in the Preparation of Isotonic Solutions
The calculations involved in preparing isotonic solutions may be made in terms of data relating to the colligative properties of solutions. Theoretically, any one of these properties may be used as a basis for determining tonicity. Practically and most conveniently, a comparison of
freezing points is used for this purpose. It is generally accepted that −0.52°C is the freezing point of both blood serum and lacrimal fluid.
When 1 g molecular weight of any nonelectrolyte—that is, a substance with negligible dissociation, such as boric acid—is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the freezing point of the solution is about 1.86°C below the freezing point of pure water. By simple proportion, therefore, we can calculate the weight of any nonelectrolyte that should be dissolved in each 1000 g of water if the solution is to be isotonic with body fluids.
Boric acid, for example, has a molecular weight of 61.8; thus (in theory), 61.8 g in 1000 g of water should produce a freezing point of
−1.86°C. Therefore:
In short, 17.3 g of boric acid in 1000 g of water, having a weight-in-volume strength of approximately 1.73%, should make a solution isotonic with lacrimal fluid.
With electrolytes, the problem is not so simple. Because osmotic pressure depends more on the number of particles, substances that dissociate have a tonic effect that increases with the degree of dissociation; the greater the dissociation, the smaller the quantity required to produce any given osmotic pressure. If we assume that sodium chloride in weak solutions is about 80% dissociated, then each 100 molecules yields 180 particles, or 1.8 times as many particles as are yielded by 100 molecules of a nonelectrolyte. This dissociation factor, commonly symbolized by the letter i, must be included in the proportion when we seek to determine the strength of an isotonic solution of sodium chloride (m.w. 58.5):
Hence, 9.09 g of sodium chloride in 1000 g of water should make a solution isotonic with blood or lacrimal fluid. In practice, a 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution is considered isotonic with body fluids.
Simple isotonic solutions may then be calculated by using this formula:
The value of i for many medicinal salts has not been experimentally determined. Some salts are exceptional (such as zinc sulfate, with only 40% dissociation and an i value therefore of 1.4), but most medicinal salts approximate the dissociation of sodium chloride in weak solutions. If the
