Pharmacy /Pharmaceutics Introduction ppt

Pharmaceutics is the area of study concerned with the formulation,
manufacturing stability and effectiveness of pharmaceutical dosage form. In
the previous unit various communicable, non-communicable disorders were
described. In this unit we will study how the drugs are administered in the body
to be effective. Drugs are rarely used alone. They are used as a part of a
formulation with other non-drug substances. These non-drug substances or
additives serve specific function. The drugs presented in the dosage form are
given in a specific quantity i.e. dose for a specific period. These dosage forms
are available in various forms as required for a specific disease condition.
Packaging of dosage form is another important aspect as the dosage form
should not degrade during storage. A good packaging is necessary to protect
the drug component from any type of deterioration till it reaches the consumer.

7. Pharmaceutics Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) or old drugs into a medication to be used safely and effectively by patients. It is also called the science of dosage form design.

8. There are many chemicals with pharmacological properties, but need special measures to help them achieve therapeutically relevant amounts at their sites of action. Pharmaceutics helps relate the formulation of drugs to their delivery and disposition in the body. Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug substance into a dosage form.

9. Pharmaceutics is the branch of pharmacy which deals with the formulation, manufacturing, evaluation, packaging of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

12. Manufacturing Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical dosage forms involves a series of steps that can convert the raw materials into finished goods.

13. Evaluation Any process by which the properties and specifications of the prepared pharmaceutical dosage forms are checked. The main aim of evaluation is to confirm the quality.

14. Packaging Pharmaceutical packaging is defined as the economical means of providing presentation, protection, identification, information, convenience and stability of the product.
