Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Courses of pharmaceutical technology are taught in the 3rd and 4th years of school of pharmacy. Aim of courses of Pharmaceutical Technology is introducing basic technological processes, preformulation and formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms taking into account physico-chemical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical properties of active agents and pharmaceutical excipients.

Further studies include review of national and international pharmacopoeias.

Practices usually begin with seminars where basic introduction of the proper lesson takes place. After seminars students have to prepare medicines according to the laws of pharmaceutical formulation technology in proper dosage forms including calculation of single and daily maximal dose, preparation, labeling and pricing. Students also have to prepare galenic formulations according to the official formula. Practices of quality control of medicines are carried out as well.

Course Pharmaceutical Technology 1 includes practice with liquid dosage forms such as solution, syrup, elixir, oral drop, ear drop, nasal drop, parenteral solution and associated calculations with practices of quality control of mentioned dosage forms.
