Learning unit contents
The aim of this course is to train students in galenic formulation in terms of composition, manufacture and evaluation of medicinal products, focusing in part 1 on magistral preparation.
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.
The learning objectives are to contribute to the acquisition of all the skills specific to pharmacists as set out in the learning outcomes targeted by the master's cycle in pharmaceutical sciences
- Pharmaceutical expertise: mastering and integrating scientific and technical knowledge in terms of formulating and manufacturing magistral preparations and being able to explain the biopharmaceutical aspects.
- Preparing and dispensing medicinal products: understanding and applying the practical aspects of formulating, manufacturing and packaging magistral preparations and being able to advise on their storage and administration (theoretical and practical knowledge) l
- Health advice: Providing sound advice on the optimal use of pharmaceutical forms.
- Communication: Be able to explain orally the composition of a product and the manufacturing protocol for a compounding preparation to all parties involved (pharmacist colleagues or pharmacy assistants).
- Scientific approach: Ability to identify incompatibilities and optimal formulations by referring to the scientific literature, in particular that relating to the physico-chemical properties of active substances and excipients, pharmacopoeias and the various forms in force (FTM, etc.).
- Sense of responsibility: To deliver a quality magistral preparation in terms of content, microbiological contamination and stability, including pharmacotechnical specifications.
- Quality: Ability to draw up a precise manufacturing protocol for a pharmaceutical preparation in compliance with good pharmacy practice.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
At the time of encoding the pedagogical commitments, the health situation remains uncertain for this academic year. Organizational changes are therefore possible during the year. Students will be notified of any changes in due course.
Attendence during practical work is mandatory. in the case of justified non-attendence leading to an attendance rate of below 90%, teachers reserve the right to take any action they judge necessary in order to allow the students to catch up the session(s).
