Dosage Forms and Biopharmacy I
Students can study this course only after completing the course Dosage Forms and Biopharmacy I - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 24 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/24, only registered: 0/24 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Multidisciplinary studies at Faculty of Pharmacy (programme CST, KOS)
- Pharmacy (programme FaF, M-FARMA)
- 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 - Syllabus

2 Individual lab training - practical skills - Assessment methods
- Intermediate tests in laboratory classes
Systematic observation of the student during laboratory classes, preparation of reports following the teacher's instructions
Credit test (credit test has two parts, part 1 - pharmaceutical calculations (limit for passing 75%), part 2 - test - closed and open questions from knowledge from lectures and laboratory classes (limit for passing - 60%).
Practical testing is conducted to evaluate students' skills as part of the credit assessment.
Oral examination (study topics are available in the study materials in IS MU) - Language of instruction
- English
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- Study Materials
The course can also be completed outside the examination period. - Teacher's information
- Lectures are recommended due to the lack of suitable literature. Students can study this course only after completing the course Dosage Forms and Biopharmacy I
All study materials are available in IS MU.
