Introduction to Physical Pharmacy Flashcards
concerned with the entire process of
converting drugs into medicines.
Pharmaceutics
This requires the following:
* Understanding of the basic physical chemistry necessary for the
efficient design of dosage forms.
* The design and formulation of medicines.
* The manufacture of these medicines on both small (compound) and
large (pharmaceutical technology) scale.
* The cultivation, avoidance, and elimination of microorganisms in
medicines.
Pharmaceutics
is a substance recognized in an official
pharmacopoeia or formulary
intended for use in the diagnosis, cure,
mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease
other than food, intended to affect the
structure or function of the body
intended for use as a component of a medicine but not
a device or a component, part, or accessory of a device
Drug
Chemical compound with
pharmacological (or other direct
effect ) intended for used in
diagnosis, treatment or prevention
of diseases
International nonproprietary names
(INN, “generic” names)
ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL
INGREDIENT
“inactive” ingredients
For technological, biopharmaceutical
and/or stability reasons
Eg. Diluents/fillers, binders, lubricants,
disintegrants, coatings, preservatives and
stabilizers, colorants and flavourings
May elicit response, hence should always be stated
(i.e. in the case of allergies)
help deliver API effectively
