    Liquid ingredients are difficult to include in any other solid dosage form, such as a tablet. Softgels are also highly suited to potent drugs (for example, where the dose is <100 μg), where the highly reproducible filling process helps ensure each softgel has the same drug content, and because the operators are not exposed to any drug dust ...

    The dose of 580 rad was calculated based on the "average skeletal dose" contributed from the two radionuclides Pu-238 (575 rad) and Pu-239 (7.7 rad). [10] This was then converted to the bone's surface dose, which was 7,420 rad. [ 10 ] Stevens's absorbed dose was almost entirely based on the Pu-238 in his system.
