Perspective Dosage Forms (ZFTK_011)
About Study Course
Objective
1. To promote knowledge acquisition and forming of understanding of the characteristics and importance of perspective dosage forms.
2. To develop understanding of the role of polymers in prolonging the life of active substances.
3. To develop understanding of the theoretical basis of substance prolongation and its practical relevance for the development of sustained-release medicinal products.
4. To develop understanding of the specifics of the dosage forms used in paediatric practice.
5. To develop understanding of veterinary dosage forms.
Prerequisites
In inorganic and organic chemistry, quantitative analysis, plant and animal biology, mathematics and computer science, physics, physical pharmacy, medical biochemistry, environmental health, microbiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacognosy with phytopharmacy course, pharmacology. Knowledge of human anatomy, normal physiology and English is desirable.
Learning outcomes
After successful fulfilment of the requirements of the study course students will have mastered knowledge, which will allow:
1. To understand the basic principles of sustained-release dosage formulation.
2. To describe the polymers used in the preparation of sustained-release dosage forms.
3. To describe the quality of sustained-release dosage forms in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations.
4. To understand the specific approach to the development of paediatric dosage forms.
5. To describe the specific nature of veterinary medicinal products.
As a result of completing the study course, students will be able:
1. To evaluate the physical, chemical and functional properties of excipient-polymers and their use in the preparation of paediatric dosage forms and sustained-release medicinal products.
2. To evaluate technological methods in the preparation of paediatric dosage forms.
3. To evaluate the quality of dosage forms according to the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia.
4. To present the results of one’s practical work correctly.
As a result of completing the study course, students will be able to appreciate the role of polymers and technological achievements in the development and formulation of sustained-release dosage forms and paediatric dosage forms.
