Aims
To develop knowledge of the scientific principles applied in the formulation, manufacture and testing of pharmaceutical dosage forms.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply formulation principles to the design and manufacture of pharmaceutical dosage forms
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of bioavailability and the systems used to deliver drugs via oral and alternative routes
3.
Interpret experimental data from testing procedures to determine the quality of pharmaceutical dosage forms
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Formulation, manufacture and testing of non-sterile dosage forms including solid oral products (tablets and capsules), pulmonary, nasal and transdermal delivery systems.
Particle size reduction, mixing, granulation, and drying techniques.
Formulation and mechanisms of modified-release oral dosage forms in controlling bioavailability
Formulation and properties of semi-solid pharmaceutical products.
Micro- and nano-carrier delivery systems
Module Overview:
This module introduces you to the formulation, manufacture and testing of solid oral pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets and capsules) as well as the development of oral modified release dosage forms.
This module introduces you to the formulation, manufacture and testing of solid oral pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets and capsules) as well as the development of oral modified release dosage forms.
Additional Information:This module introduces the student to the formulation, manufacture and testing of solid oral pharmaceutical dosage form (tablets and capsules) as well as the development of oral modified release dosage forms. The study of powder properties and the unit processes of mixing, drying and granulation with respect to pharmaceutical powders is also completed. This module also introduces the student to nasal, pulmonary and transdermal drug delivery systems. The concepts of micro- and nanocarrier delivery systems are also introduced.
Practical sessions will complement lecture material and provide students with hands-on experience of formulation, manufacture and testing of tablets, powder flow characteristics, powder formulations using capsules and inhaled drug formulations.
