| Educational objectives | The course represents the first teaching of Pharmaceutical Technology. The aim of the course is giving the necessary expertise in the field of conventional dosage forms for drug administration. The student will be able to apply the knowledge of the technological pharmaceutics to the preparation and control of conventional industrial pharmaceutical products and galenics. |
| Prerequisites | The student has to posses the basic notions of the conventional pharmaceutical dosage forms. |
| Teaching methods | Lessons face-face and practical training |
| Learning verification modality | The exam is one exam with Pharmaceutical Technology II. The exam consists of a written and an oral test. The written test is passed if the student reaches 18/30 and is valid for six months, within which the student must pass the oral examination. The written exam is divided as follows: - Multiple choice quiz concerning topics discussed during course. This kind of test allows to verify the student's ability to apply theoretical knowledge by adopting a mode of examination similar to that provided in many public selections. - Simulation of a prescription concerning a galenic formulation. For passing the test, students must correctly identify the type of prescription and indicate its formalism, correctly describe the preparation of the prescribed formula and quality controls which must be performed, indicate all aspects inherent the Good Manifacturing Practice Guidelines for the pharmacist. This test allows to evaluate the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the dispensing of medicines in the pharmacy. The oral test can be taken after the written test. It consists on a discussion-interview on the topics discussed during the course. The test lasts about 30 minutes , but it depends on the performance of the test itself. The oral test aims at verifying the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student. Moreover this oral test will verify if the student is able to communicate, his property of language and exposure on the topics studied. |
| Extended program | Drug and dosage forms, excipients in pharmaceutical dosage forms: functions and classification. Characteristics of the dosage forms which influence the therapeutic response: bioavailability. Solid dosage forms: powders, polverization, lyophilization, fundamental and derivative powder properties, granulometric determination; - granulates: methods of granulation; - tablets: compression phases, alternative and rotating tablettings; - capsules; - medicated chewing gum; - coated tablets.
