Course Objectives6 points
  • The objectives of this course are to:
  • Provide understanding on preformulation principles and evaluation of key parameters for drugs, excipients, and dosage forms.
  • Provide understanding of drug excipient compatibility testing during formulation development.
  • Provide hands-on experience in manufacturing processes and evaluation for solid dosage forms.
  • Provide hands-on experience in manufacturing processes and evaluation for sustained/controlled-release dosage forms and microcapsules.
  • Provide fundamentals of packaging material evaluation.
Course Outcomes (COs)5 outcomes
