Physical Pharmaceutics and Formulation A
PHAR1822
This unit of study aims to facilitate an understanding of the physicochemical principles, design, formulation, manufacture and evaluation of pharmaceutical dose forms. The unit starts with an introduction to different dose forms and the importance of route of administration. The formulation of liquid dose forms including parenteral, nasal, ophthalmic and aural products is discussed. Related topics such as diffusion and dissolution of drugs, drug solubilisation, surface and interfacial tension, surface active materials, micelle formation, pharmaceutical complexes and drug-packaging interactions will be covered. Fundamentals of the stability of pharmaceuticals are also presented in this unit. This unit of study also includes mathematical tools required for other units of study.
