- Course objectives
- One of the main obligatory pharmaceutical disciplines dealing with preparation, manufacturing and quality control of medicaments including technological procedures, equiment, excipients and appropriate analytical devices. It covers the influence of the application form on drug bioavailability.
- Learning outcomes
- Upon completion of the course, the student will:
-describe the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological procedures for the preparation and production of solid dosage forms including their evaluation;
-theoretically describe the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological procedures of preparation and production of controlled release dosage forms including their evaluation;
- identify the basic aspects of solid dosage forms relating to drug bioavailability;
- prepare practically semi-solid and solid dosage forms under pharmacy conditions;
- explain the basic principles of GMP - Syllabus
