Physical Pharmacy Lecture

COURSE SUMMARY

RATIONALE

This course deals with the physicochemical principles underlying dosage forms and drug delivery systems’ design and manufacture; and drugs’ bioavailability 

FOCUS

It focuses on how these principles affect to dosage form design, manufacture and evaluation, and stability of pharmaceutical products; and biologic response. 

OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the students are expected to:

• Apply the physicochemical properties of drugs as they relate to dosage form design and manufacture.
  
• Interpret theoretical principles in terms of concrete laboratory situations. 
• Solve mathematical problems involved in dosage form design, manufacture, evaluation, and stability
