Pharmaceutics, a discipline of Pharmacy is the science of designing the dosage form. It deals with all facets of the process of turning a new/old chemical entity (NCE) into a safe and effective medication used by patients in the community. It is the study of relationships between drug formulation, delivery, disposition and clinical response with emphasis on development of robust manufacturing process. This course will impart basic knowledge in the area of pharmaceutics. Various dosage forms and unit operations involved in pharmaceutical industries. This course is designed to impart a fundamental knowledge on the preparatory pharmacy with arts and science of preparing the different conventional dosage forms. Prescription and its components and posology are also covered in this course. This course lays foundation to the students to understand more difficult concepts of pharmaceutics in the advanced Physical Pharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics course. The students will get knowledge as well as hands on training with respect to the principles of formulation science such as kinetics, micrometrics, diffusion and dissolution, complexation, colloids, rheology etc. The students will be well versed with biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetics aspects which help to design a dosage form of patients need. Department of Pharmaceutics work under the guidance of Mr. K. S. Surwade, having experience of seven years in academics. The Dept. is well established, with highly qualified trained and experienced teaching faculty having background of academics and industry exposure.
