II. Read and translate the text: The common rules of taking drugs.
Most of the drugs commonly dispensed fall into three categories: solids; semisolids and liquids.
It is up to the physician to decide upon the precise form in which his medication is to be administered. Some patients cannot swallow tablets (especially true of small children) and must always receive medication in a liquid form. Sometimes multiple diseases complicate the picture too. For instance, a patient with a chronic peptic ulcer might not tolerate a cough syrup containing the irritating ammonium chloride.
Capsules. Capsules consist of two parts a hard type of gelatin is used to make both the body and the cap. For special purposes the capsule may be colored (blue or red, for example) according by, the patient may be obliged to swallow several capsules for a single dose.
Compressed Tablets. These are usually made in large quantities and dispensed in lots of 50 to 1 000. These compressed tablets may be coated with sugar, gelatin, and chocolate suitable colored and flavored.
Before using the medicine the patient must specify if it is a proper drug and the necessary dosage, because their overdosage may cause unfavorable reactions and sometimes even death.
Powder papers. In this method the ingredients are weighed, triturated together and dispensed in folded papers.
The patient opens one paper and as directed either slides the powder onto his tongue following it some beverage or stirs the powder into half a glass of liquid and drinks quickly.
