Topic

The aim of the course is acquiring the basis of modern inorganic chemistry with adaptation of the principles to understand the physical and chemical properties of the most important pharmacy-related elements and inorganic compounds. The subject devotes special attention to the inorganic compounds (active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients) listed in the Pharmacopoeia.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Acknowledgment of the course is in accord with the Code of Studies and Examinations. Participation in the lectures and seminars is obligatory. A maximum of three absences can be accepted both from the lectures and the seminars. Two compulsory midterm tests (on the topics of the lectures, seminars, and practices) will be written during the semester on the 7th and the 12th weeks. One of the test results should be above 60%, and the average of the tests should be above 50%. On the 13h week, there is a possibility to write an improvement test. The result of the improvement test is added to the previous two.
