Program Summary

Pharmaceutics is a branch of pharmacy that focuses on the formulation, development, production, and evaluation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. It involves the study of how drugs are transformed into medications that can be safely and effectively administered to patients. This course covers various aspects such as drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical technology, biopharmaceutics, and pharmacokinetics. It also explores the principles of physical pharmacy, including drug solubility, stability, and release mechanisms. Additionally, pharmaceutics emphasizes the role of excipients, packaging, and regulatory considerations in drug formulation. The course integrates both theoretical and practical knowledge to equip students with the skills needed to design, manufacture, and assess pharmaceutical products for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
