Pharmaceutics and Safety (SafeSciMET course 2.1), Uppsala (S)

Pharmaceutics is the discipline that deals with the design and manufacturing of the drug product. Drugs are rarely used only as a pure substance but instead are used in the form of a medicine, i.e. a formulated preparation or a dosage form. This course aims to introduce the various aspects of the administration routes (e.g. oral, nasal, transdermal), the formulation (e.g. liquid, solid, powder) and the manufacturing of medicines. Besides a broad overview about the basic concepts of pharmaceutics in general students will acquire specific knowledge of excipients, dosage forms and their physical constraints as well as understanding of the functions of the several pharmaceutical packagings and devices used for medication. Furthermore the participants will receive knowledge about methods and procedures used in the quality control of medicines, both in development and manufacturing. Lastly, standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and regulatory aspects will be part of the course. Further information.
