• Physical stability ensures that a product retains its original physical properties, including appearance, palatability, uniformity, dissolution, and suspendability during its shelf-life
• Physical incompatibilities can lead to visible changes like precipitation, changes in color, and turbidity
• Chemical incompatibilities involve changes that are not visible, such as endothermic or exothermic reactions
• Therapeutic incompatibilities refer to undesirable interactions between two or more ingredients
• Incompatibilities can result in not receiving the full therapeutic effect of medication or adverse effects due to the formation of toxic products
• Incomplete solution occurs when two or more substances do not give a homogenous product due to immiscibility or insolubility
• Solvent effects occur when a drug is dissolved in a solvent and a second solvent, one in which the drug is poorly soluble
• Hazards may occur if there is unintended precipitation of APIs or excipients in oral or topical solutions, with particles usually settling at the bottom
• Danger from precipitation of IV solutions is greater as insoluble particles can dislodge or block capillaries, potentially leading to death
• The seal of Xavier University of Louisiana represents the institution

  
• The crest of Xavier University of Louisiana features a golden cup with a serpent wrapped around it, symbolizing Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, and a sun symbolizing Apollo, the Greek god of healing, surrounded by a wreath of green leaves symbolizing life and growth

  
• The crest of the fictional Hufflepuff house from the Harry Potter series is different from the crest of Xavier University of Louisiana
