Powder is a dry mixture of medicinal substances / chemicals that are mashed for oral /
internal use or for external use. For powder or pulveres is powder which is divided into

In order to be able to divide precisely, the powder mixture is often added with additional

agent, but the powder is easily wet and is not suitable for diabetics.
