Course contents :  This course is devoted to the study of Pharmaceutical technology and biopharmacy which represents the science of transformation of the active substances into drugs. This one can contain one or more active substances and must be administered in the best adapted form, which generally claims the presence of excipients and a conditioning selected on scientific bases.
Course objective :  The objective of this teaching is the training of the student to the pharmaceutical formulation in terms of composition, manufacture and evaluation based on physicochemical and biopharmaceutical knowledge previously acquired. The purpose of it is to familiarize the student with the marketed pharmaceutical products and with the most common preparations produced in pharmacy open to the public before the officinal training course. The first part of the course is devoted to the study of the role of the excipients and manufacturing process of the conventional dosage forms. Topics are liquid formulations (solutions, syrups, eye lotions,..), dispersed systems (suspensions, emulsions), semi-solid preparations semi-solid (creams, ointments, gel...) and the solid dosage forms. The second part of the course is devoted to the description of the dosage forms manufactured in pharmaceutical industry while insisting again on the indissociable character of the technological and biopharmaceutical aspects. The subjects covered in this second part are the formulation of the solid oral dosage forms (tablet with conventional or modified release, spheroids, stripped forms), transdermic system, pulmonary, intranasal, intraocular, intra-uterin and intravaginal as well as the injectable formulations.
Prerequisites :  Physico-chemical principles applicated to Pharmaceutical Technology.
