Research of Rheological Properties of Medicinal Syrup for Oral Use

Abstract

The aim of the present research was to investigate the rheological properties of the medicinal syrup for oral administration with glucosamine hydrochloride and levocarnitine. Matherials and methods: Coefficient of the dynamic flow (at shear rates of 3,49 and 10,3 s -1, as well as at shear rates of 27.2 and 149.0 s-1), mechanical stability, the index of destruction and restoration were studied. The rheological (structural-mechanical) properties of the samples were determined using a Rheolab QC rotary viscometer (AntonPaar, Austria) with coaxial cylinders CC27 / S-SN29766. The rheological parameters were studied at the temperature 20±0,5 °С. Results: It is established that the syrup has weakly expressed plastic viscous and thixotropic properties (the hysteresis area for the syrupis 1710.19 Pas/s). Such results characterize the system as a reopex. Conclusions: The results of the study enables classification of the research object as system with a low degree of fluidity. Such dependence is typical for systems of the Newtonian type of flow and characterizes the syrup under investigation as a weakly structured disperse system.
