M Pharm (Pharmaceutics)
Pharmaceutics is a branch of Pharmacy focusing on transforming new chemical entities (NCEs) or drugs into formulations that patients can safely and effectively use. Often called the science of dosage form design, it addresses the delivery of drugs in therapeutic amounts at their action sites to achieve desired pharmacological effects. Pharmaceutics encompasses the formulation of pure drug substances into dosage forms and connects drug formulation with their delivery and behaviour within the body. Our multidisciplinary department offers expertise in drug discovery, development, and evaluation.
Key areas within Pharmaceutics include:
• Pharmaceutical formulation
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical marketing
• Dispensing Pharmacy
• Industrial Pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical Technology
• Physical Pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence
• Cosmetics science
At the undergraduate level, the curriculum covers subjects like Pharmaceutics, Physical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology, Microbiology & Biotechnology, Novel Drug Delivery Systems, Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics, Pre-formulation, Production Management, and Pharmaceutical Marketing, and Cosmetics science
The department meets the educational and research needs of the pharmaceutical industry, engaging in activities such as Pharmaceutical Formulations, Novel Drug Delivery Systems, Physical Pharmacy, Biopharmaceutics, and Pharmacokinetics. Current research includes sustained-release drug formulations, novel drug delivery system designs, nanotechnology, polymer films for drug coatings and matrices, solubility enhancement of BCS II drugs, site-specific drug delivery systems, biodegradable polymers, transdermal and oral drug delivery, ocular drug delivery, and dermatological formulations.
Once the formulations are prepared, it’s crucial to assess the dosage forms to guarantee they are safe, therapeutically effective, and perform consistently. Quality control plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry.
The scope of Post graduation in Pharmaceutics includes:
1. Drug Discovery and Development:
R&D for new drug candidates.
Advanced technology in formulation and delivery.
