Course objectives
Expanding the knowledge of the student focusing on modern medical forms, with different profiles of drug release and their use in the current pharmacotherapy of local and systemic diseases, obtained mainly from world databases containing knowledge from scientific publications especially of foreign research experts and institutions and increasing the ability of the student to process this knowledge into research texts focusing on the content of the study program.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
-differentize the basic technological principles of modern dosage forms and their production
-estimate the function of excipients in dosage form
-estimate the behavior of a modern dosage form in the body
-estimate the benefit of these forms for pharmacotherapy
-suggest a suitable modification of the dosage form to ensure the desired drug release profile and site of its action
Syllabus
The importance of dosage forms with controlled and targeted drug transport in therapy.
Matrix and reservoir systems in pharmaceutical technology, technology of their production, excipients, kinetics and mechanism of release.
Multiple dosage forms (pellets, microparticles, nanoparticles, etc.) - technology of their production, design of a dosage form, use in pharmacotherapy.
Delayed-release dosage forms and systems - technology of production, dosage form design, use in pharmacotherapy.
GIT physiological factors in human and veterinary field in relation to modern dosage forms.
Choice of polymeric excipients in the design of dosage forms.
