Physical Pharmacy deals with the physicochemical principles underlying dosage forms and drug delivery systems’ design and manufacture; and drugs’ bioavailability. 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; and solve mathematical problems involved in dosage form design, manufacture, evaluation, and stability.
This course provides update on current
therapeutics and its application to disease treatment. The pharmacodynamics,
pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action of latest medicines will be described with
the aim of developing appreciation on innovations as integral part of
pharmaceutical science.
