Course description:
This course focuses on the basic aspects of pharmaceutical dosage forms and pharmaceutical analytical skills. Each laboratory experiment is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in executing elementary analytical skills and quality control tests for various dosage forms. Students gain knowledge and competence by conducting bench experiments and taking theoretical sessions.
Course Aims:
The course aimed to provide students of various analytical skills, in relevance of pharmaceutical dosage forms and analytical instrumentation, to make them competent with and apply their knowledge and skills to dosage preparation, dosage quality control, pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic calculation.
Course outcomes:
Upon completion of this hands-on laboratory course, for specific aspects of pharmacy practice the students should be able to:
- Define common terminology of pharmaceutical analysis.
- Employ terminology of pharmaceutical analysis by executing various analytical.
- skills through lab exercises or instrumentation: Sterile preparation; Serial dilution; Calibration; Titration; Spectrophotometer; and Chromatography.
- Classify quality control criteria for various dosage forms by executing different.
- lab exercises: Sterility; Drug content; Tablet dissolution; Stability protocol; and Drug diffusion.
- Plan and execute a lab exercise using appropriate analytical skills and generate a comprehensive lab report on the findings.
