oil
Oil Oil is a type of liquid dosage form used for various purposes. Here are some key points:
- Mineral Oil: Often used as a laxative for constipation relief, mineral oil is an example of an oil-based oral dosage form1.
- Emulsions: These are water-based suspensions of oils and fats, created using an emulsifying agent. The agent prevents oil particles from coalescing when mixed with water, resulting in stable emulsions2.
- Other Uses: Oils can also be used in topical formulations, such as ointments or creams, for skin conditions or as carriers for oil-soluble drugs.
