4 Credit Hours

This course will examine the physiochemical properties that are essential in the formulation, manufacturing and dispensing of commonly used pharmaceutical dosage forms. These properties 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 liquids (including dispersed systems), semisolids or solid delivery systems. Formulation design, manufacturing, dispensing, and quality requirements of drug delivery systems administered by a variety of routes will also be covered.
