PSC 6330 Pharmacy Dispensing & Compounding Lab


Lecture: 2 Lab: 1 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This laboratory course will focus on application of physicochemical properties of drugs and excipients, including appropriate pharmaceutical calculations, relevant to extemporaneous preparation and compounding of conventional and specialized non-sterile drug preparations, typically encountered by practicing pharmacists in compounding pharmacy settings. Students will compound, package, and appropriately label their individually prepared drug products: solutions, gels, suspensions, emulsions, ointments, creams, pastes, lotions, suppositories, troches, lollipops, capsules, and effervescent powders. Flavoring, coloring, and taste-masking strategies to achieve patient compliance will also be incorporated during compounding techniques.
