Course objectives
The subject for both Czech and English study programme - taught in English. Předmět také pro studenty studující v českém programu!!! The course aims to show students modern dosage/application forms, sophisticated preparation and production methods, and their evaluation and application in pharmacotherapy. Specific technological procedures and quality control methods for modern dosage forms are presented as part of practical exercises.
Learning outcomes
By completing this course, students gain a deeper knowledge of modern dosage/application forms for systemic and local drug delivery from the perspective of pharmaceutical technology. An integral part is the study of excipients and technologies and the evaluation of these innovative dosage forms. The information obtained suits motivated students who want to work in the pharmaceutical industry/research or pharmacy.
