PRX 1114 - Pharmaceutics

4 Credit Hours

This course will examine the physiochemical principles that underlie the formulation, manufacturing and dispensing of commonly used pharmaceutical dosage forms. These principles include aqueous solubility, ionization constant (pKa), partition coefficient, salt formation, hygroscopicity, molecular weight, crystallinity, polymorphism, chemical stability and physical stability. Dosage forms will be categorized according to their physical form as either liquids (including dispersed), semisolids or solid delivery systems. Formulation design, manufacturing, dispensing, and quality requirements of drug delivery systems administered by a variety of routes will be covered.
