PSC 6321 Pharmaceutics I
Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course focuses on learning physical pharmacy concepts and developing skills on integrating physical, chemical and biological principles underlying the design and development, preparation, compounding, packaging and manufacture of therapeutically effective, pharmaceutical dosage forms. This course further emphasizes the influence of physico-chemical properties of drugs and excipients to optimize drug bioavailability and drug delivery characteristics from dosage forms. Topics covered will include key areas of pharmaceutics which influence the process of drug development, preformulation and formulation strategies, drug solubility and dissolution, solutions and ionic equilibria, pH and buffer systems, isotonicity, osmotic and thermodynamic properties of pharmaceutical systems, drug stability, drug diffusion and solid dosage form characteristics. Relevant pharmaceutical ingredients and contemporary industrial manufacturing methods will also be discussed in this course.
