Course objectives
Pharmaceutical technology is a fundamental discipline within the pharmaceutical field. The course aims to introduce students to compounding, industrial production, and quality control of medications, including excipients, technological procedures, equipment, and appropriate analytical devices. Additionally, it covers the impact of the drug's application form on its bioavailability within the organism.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
- theoretically know the classification, requirements, excipients, technological procedure of preparation and production of liquid dosage forms and their evaluation (solutions, emulsions, suspensions)
- theoretically know the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological procedure for the preparation and manufacture of ophthalmic, nasal, and ear preparations and their evaluation
- theoretically know the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological procedure for the preparation and manufacture of parenteral preparations and their evaluation
- theoretically know the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological procedure for the preparation and manufacture of semi-solid dosage forms and their evaluation (ointments, pastes, creams, gels)
- to determine the basic aspects of dosage forms in relation to the bioavailability of the drug
- to perform essential calculations (concentrations, doses, mixing equations, ratios, etc.)
- to check the doses of a drug in a medicinal product according to the prescription of the product according to Pharmacopoeia
- to prepare both pharmacopoeial and non-pharmacopoeial solutions, syrups, aromatic waters, suspensions, emulsions, eye drops, nasal drops, and ear drops skillfully
- to detect fundamental incompatibilities in the composition of individually formulated medicinal products
- to determine the shelf life of individually formulated medicinal products
- to select suitable packaging options for individually formulated medicinal products
- to estimate the optimal storage conditions required for individually formulated medicinal products

Homework
Assessment methods
Intermediate tests in laboratory classes (3 tests, two retakes are possible)
Systematic observation of the student during laboratory classes, preparation of reports following the teacher's instructions
Credit test (credit test has two parts, part 1 - pharmaceutical calculations (limit for passing 75%), part 2 - test - closed and open questions (especially opened) from knowledge from lectures and laboratory classes (limit for passing - 60%).
Practical testing is conducted to evaluate students' skills as part of the credit assessment. (preparation of the medicinal product - detection of incompatibilities, control of dosage, selection of the correct procedure, selection of appropriate packaging, correct labelling of the product - shelf life, storage conditions).
