Pharmaceutics III

Catalog description

Pharmaceutics deals with the scientific and technological aspects of the design and manufacture of dosage forms. The Pharmaceutics course series is designed with a systematic approach to establish a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental physicochemical principles applicable to rational dosage form design. The course series delves into fundamental drug-delivery principles that are applied in the safe and effective dosage form design and development; extemporaneous compounding and manufacturing of safe, effective, and stable pharmaceutical dosage forms as relevant to drug approval processes. Additionally, the course series introduce and integrate best practices for compounding of sterile and non-sterile dosage forms as described by the United States Pharmacopeia in Chapters <795> and <797>. Through this course series, the students will also be exposed to more advanced and specialized pharmaceuticals, including sterile dosage forms, modified release dosage forms, radiopharmaceuticals, novel dosage forms, and biologic drug products.
