Desjardine Carpentry Jan. 12 on Francis Street in Exeter with a new construction method that uses styrofoam
for forming.The styrofoam blocks are four feet wide and 16 feet high and Desjardine said the system is easier
to use and more companies are going to it since it makes a better basement. He added with the foam system,
home owners don't get the same basement feeling they would normally get from cement formed walls.
Desjardine said it is an approved R35 wall when built and the company, which has built four homes in the area
using the system is negotiating to build a home in British Columbia.(photo/Pat Bolen)

ccl Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
The average tablet contains many ingredients.
Besides the medication itself, tablets contain
lubricants to reduce sticking in the tablet -making
machines. They contain binding and granulating
agents to bind the ingredients together; diluents
to make the table of a size for easy use and disintegrating agents
to help the tablet dissolve in a time approximate for maximum
absorption.
Some tablets contain a wax matrix that allows for slow release of
the drug. These tablets are not to be crushed and your prescription
container will be labelled to remind you of this fact.
There are long-acting capsules as well. They contain granules of
drug with various coatings on them. These coatings allow some
granules to dissolve right away while others will be delayed. These
granules shouldn't be crushed or chewed.
There are also skin patches that can contain drugs that release
over 12 hours to one week. Not all drugs are suitable candidates
for this dosage form since the drug molecule cannot be too large
to pass through the patch membrane into the skin and the blood
system. Current patches can contain medications for birth control,
angina, pain control, smoking cessation and treatment of
menopausal symptoms.
