Pharmaceutical Technology studies the preparation of different pharmaceutical forms, useful for the drug delivery for a given route of administration. The pharmaceutical legislation is in charge of dealing with the legislation on the medicinal product, from its marketing to the methods of supply and the organization of the Pharmaceutical Service also in relation to the National Health Service.
The course provides students with the basic elements of knowledge of the pharmaceutical dosage forms and the main methods used to produce and control them, both industrial and laboratory scale. The normative section is directed to the acquisition of the general organization of the National Health Service with particular regard to the Italian Pharmaceutical Services and the Pharmacy Profession.
The course also includes laboratory practices concerning the practical preparation of pharmaceutical forms most commonly used.
The student must be able to recognize oral formulations (tablets, capsules, granules, syrups), eye drops, parenteral preparations, preparations for topical use and suppositories that are illustrated starting from the structural description of the excipients present and their properties useful for development of specific formulations.
The student during the laboratory exercises must be able to individually prepare the dosage forms described in the theoretical part.
The requirements requested by the student to study Technology, Socioeconomics and Pharmaceutical Legislation are:
These subjects are reported in the "Manifesto degli Studi " in the Pharmacy course.
The lectures, workshops and exercises will be carried out both remotely via videoconferencing or activities to be carried out on the AulaWeb online platform, and in presidential mode. (according to the indications of the University guidelines foreseen for phase 3- FIRST HALF)
