Oral liquid preparations I guess I can just pick any antibiotic for this one.
Suppositories No idea, never made any up
Powders ?
Capsules No idea, never made any up
Dilutions ?

It seems like I just need one more. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Oral Liquids. There used to be a paediatric iron mixture that needed to be freshly prepared.
Suppositories - you wont be able to find a suppository mould so forget it
Powders Its about weighing and paper folding - Sodi Bic powders?
Capsules - order some empty gelatin capsules (size 10?) from your wholesalers and weigh out and fill with 600mg sod bic.
Dilutions - Ephedrine nose drops as described or get hold of the NPA diluent directory (now discontinued I think) and choose from there.
