Learning unit contents

This course is devoted to the study of Pharmaceutical technology and biopharmacy which represents the science of transformation of the active substances into drugs. This one can contain one or more active substances and must be administered in the best adapted form, which generally claims the presence of excipients and a conditioning selected on scientific bases.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The objective of this teaching is the training of the student to the pharmaceutical formulation in terms of composition, manufacture and evaluation based on physicochemical and biopharmaceutical knowledge previously acquired. The purpose of it is to familiarize the student with the marketed pharmaceutical products and with the most common preparations produced in pharmacy open to the public before the officinal training course. This course is devoted to the study of the role of the excipients and manufacturing process of the conventional dosage forms. Topics are liquid formulations (solutions, syrups, eye lotions,..), dispersed systems (suspensions, emulsions), semi-solid preparations semi-solid (creams, ointments, gel...) and the solid dosage forms. 
The objectives of the practical work associated to this course is to integrate by personnal laboratory work, all the problems related to the formulation, the manufacture and the quality control of the dosage forms. The attention is particulary drawn to the follow-up of goog manufacturinf practice.
