Learning unit contents
This course is concerned with pharmaceutical forms manufactured in an industrial environment, with a particular focus on the composition and various methods of manufacturing drugs, as well as on the different drug formulation strategies and their repercussions at the biopharmaceutical level.
This teaching unit comprises :
- A theoretical course for which the ptt projected during the course, videos and bibliographical references are available.
- Distance learning seminars (EAD) available according to a timetable that parallels the progress of the subject.
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 This course is devoted to the description of the dosage forms manufactured in pharmaceutical industry while insisting again on the indissociable character of the technological and biopharmaceutical aspects. The subjects are the formulation of the solid oral dosage forms (tablet with conventional or modified release, spheroids, stripped forms), transdermic system, pulmonary, intranasal, intraocular, intra-uterin and intravaginal as well as the injectable formulations
More specifically, the learning outcomes targeted by PHAR 0003 (Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy - part 2) are listed below.
1. Pharmaceutical expertise: mastering and integrating scientific and technical knowledge in terms of the design, formulation and manufacture of pharmaceutical forms and being able to analyse and explain their formulation, structure and biopharmaceutical aspects.
2. Preparation and delivery of medicinal products: Knowing and understanding the main methods of industrial production of medicinal products. Master the aspects relating to the structure and composition of pharmaceutical forms in order to support their delivery by providing judicious advice in terms of administration to the patient.
3. Health advice: Providing sound advice on the optimal use of pharmaceutical forms.
4. Communication: To be able to explain orally the composition of a product on the basis of its formulation and to adapt one's discourse to all interlocutors.
5. Scientific approach: Solve and analyse problems relating to the formulation and design of medicinal products using a critical approach based on a scientific approach. Demonstrate a critical approach to the information accompanying the marketing of new pharmaceutical specialities.
6. Sense of responsibility:
7. Quality: understanding the context of industrial drug production and the environment in which it takes place.
