Matter

- physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit;
- a subject or situation under consideration.

Matrix Formulation

Specific case of drug embedding in insoluble excipients (typically in a polymer) in order to achieve ex- tended release.

Maximum Additive Concentration

Maximum concentration of a drug, which will form a clear solution with a given concentration of surfactant.

Maximum Safe Concentration

Concentration of a drug in the plasma, above which side effects are likely to occur in a patient.

Micelle

Aggregates of colloidal dimensions (i.e., association of colloids) formed reversibly from amphiphile molecules.

Micellization

Formation of micelles.

Microemulsions

Emulsions in which the dispersed droplets are in the micron-size range.

Microencapsulation

Formation of microparticles encapsulating a drug.

Microfiltration

Pressure-driven, membrane-based separation process in which particles and dissolved macromolecules larger than 0.1 micrometer are rejected.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (mic)

Lowest concentration of an antibacterial drug necessary to inhibit the growth of a microorganism.

Modified Release

Release of a drug from a dosage form that it is not immediate (e.g., sustained release, retarded release, delayed-action preparations, controlled release, extended release, etc.).

Moistening Agents

Usually water or low-molecular-weight alcohols or compounds, used in topical applications and in wet granulation, for the production of tablets.

Multicompartment Formulation

Dosage form (capsule, tablet) comprising several elements (e.g., microspheres or coated pellets) difering in the rate of drug release.

Multilayer Tablet

Consists of several different layers that are compressed on top of each other, to form a single tablet composed of two or more layers.
