Learning outcomes of the learning unit

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 This 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 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.
