The capacity limit for the course is 20 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 7/20, only registered: 0/20
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
One of the main obligatory pharmaceutical disciplines dealing with the preparation, manufacturing, and quality control of medicaments including technological procedures, equipment, excipients, and appropriate analytical devices. It covers the influence of the application form on drug bioavailability.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will:
- describe the theoretical aspects of semisolid dosage forms formulation and quality testing;
- describe the classification, requirements, excipients, and technological process of preparation and production of solid dosage forms, including their evaluation;
- theoretically describe the classification, requirements, excipients, technological process of preparation and production of dosage forms with controlled drug release, including their evaluation;
- know the basic aspects of semisolid and solid dosage forms about the drug bioavailability;
- describe the main conditions of GMP
- recognize selected incompatibilities in liquid and semisolid dosage forms and adjust the composition of pharmaceutical products;
- prepare semisolid (ointments, cremes, pastes, gels) and solid dosage forms (powders, granules, capsules, suppositories, vaginal globules) in pharmacy conditions
