Prelim- PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORM AND DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM Flashcards
discipline within pharmaceutical sciences
that deals with the process of turning new
chemical entities or old drugs into
medication to be used safely and
effectively by patients.
PHARMACEUTICS
The process of developing a drug into a specific dosage form, such as tablets, capsules, injections, or topical preparations
Drug Formulation
- Techniques and technologies used to transport a pharmaceutical compound to achieve its desired therapeutic effect.
- Includes conventional systems and advanced systems
Drug Delivery Systems
The study of the biological and physiological effects of drugs on the body and the mechanisms of drug action
Pharmacodynamics
- The study of the relationship between the physical/chemical properties of drugs, the dosage form, and the biological
Biopharmaceutics
- The study of the time course of drug
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. - Involves mathematical modeling
Pharmacokinetics
Ensuring that pharmaceutical products meet the required standards of quality,
safety, and efficacy.
Quality Control and Assurance
Tailoring drug formulations to individual patient needs, considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
