Program Summary
Pharmaceutics is a branch of pharmaceutical science that focuses on the formulation, development, and manufacturing of drugs to ensure their safety, efficacy, and stability. It involves the study of different dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, injections, creams, and transdermal patches, and how they influence drug delivery and absorption in the body. The course covers principles of physical pharmacy, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and drug delivery systems, helping students understand how drugs interact with biological systems. It also explores manufacturing processes, quality control, and regulatory aspects to ensure that pharmaceutical products meet industry standards. Through theoretical knowledge and practical applications, students learn about the design and optimization of drug formulations, excipient selection, stability testing, and novel drug delivery technologies. The course is essential for aspiring pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists, as it bridges the gap between drug discovery and patient-centered treatment.
