Course description
This pharmaceutical science course explores the fascinating topics of drug design, drug analysis, drug delivery and compounding medicines. It starts by considering how medicinal chemistry is used to design effective small molecule and biological drugs, and how analytical chemistry is employed to measure the amount of drug in a sample. Subsequently it covers the application of physicochemical principles to the design, formulation, and effective use of liquid dosage forms for medicines. Students then gain experience in extemporaneous compounding of liquid medicines, including solutions, suspensions, and emulsions.
