Polysorbate 80 is a surfactant and solubilizer used in a variety of oral and topical pharmaceutical products.. Polysorbate 80 is also an excipient that is used to stabilize aqueous formulations of medications for parenteral administration, and used as an emulsifier in the making of the antiarrhythmic amiodarone.

The rapid return of myocardial blood supply is critical in order to save the ischemic heart, but it also has the potential to create injury due to oxidative damage (via reactive oxygen species) and calcium overload. [9] Myocardial damage with the resumption of blood flow after an ischemic event is termed “reperfusion injury”.
The emulsifier of choice for most fat emulsions used for parenteral nutrition is a highly purified egg lecithin, [50] due to its low toxicity and complete integration with cell membranes. Use of egg-derived emulsifiers is not recommended for people with an egg allergy due to the risk of reaction.
The high ionic strength promotes flocculation of the blood, and the astringent chemical causes local vasoconstriction. Before safety razors were invented, a styptic pencil was a standard part of a shaving kit and was used to seal shaving cuts. [ 13 ]
All classes of emulsifiers (with respect to charge and molecular weight) have been used to stabilize the lipid dispersion. It has been found that the combination of emulsifiers might prevent particle agglomeration more efficiently. [10] [11] An SLN is generally spherical and consists of a solid lipid core stabilized by a surfactant.
Sodium citrate is used to prevent donated blood from clotting in storage, and can also be used as an additive for apheresis to prevent clots forming in the tubes of the machine. By binding with calcium ions in the blood it prevents the process of coagulation. It is also used as an anticoagulant for laboratory testing, in that blood samples are ...
Due to longstanding pushback and controversial health studies surrounding the ingredient, many processed food manufacturers have already shifted away from using Red Dye No. 3, opting instead for ...
There has been rare reports of oral vitamin K adverse effects. Intravenous vitamin K admission had reports of low blood pressure, shortness of breath, flushing, and other serious allergic reactions. [6] [13] Vitamin K needs to be diluted to an aqueous solution for administration as a it is a fat-soluble vitamin. Reports of hypersensitivity of ...
