Pharmaceutics 2

SIC2024 - Pharmaceutics 2

This module builds on the pharmaceutics provided in the year one ‘Formulation and Compounding of Medicines’ module. The module teaches the technical aspects important in dosage form design. The students will also be introduced to the pharmaceutical dosage form design of tablets and capsules and gain an understanding of biopharmaceutics together with an appreciation of bioequivalence which supports the choice of medicines for a patient.
