Answer 1

Answer:

both a and b is the correct answer

Answer 2

c. Both a & b Trituration & Fusion, Chemical Reaction & Emulsification are the types of method of preparation of Ointment.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option c. Both a & b

Ointment is a medicated cream that is made from a combination of unctuous oil and water.

a. Trituration & Fusion- trituration is a method of evenly dispersing finely subdivided insoluble medicaments by grinding them with a small amount of the base or one of its ingredients, then diluting with gradually increasing amounts of the base.

b. Chemical Reaction & Emulsification- Fats, oils, and waxes are melted on a water bath at 700°C in this method. • In a separate beaker, combine water soluble ingredients with water and heat at the same temperature.

d. None of these​ - This is wrong answer because, Both a & b Trituration & Fusion, Chemical Reaction & Emulsification are the types of method of preparation of Ointment.
