Objectives
To apply the knowledges that the student aquired during propedeutic lectures and in Tecnologia Farmacêutica I, Tecnologia Farmacêutica II and Tecnologia Farmacêutica III.
The student must study for 162 hours (6 ECTS x 27 hours), from which 24 correspond to theoretical lectures and 24 to laboratorial practices. From the other 114 hours, from 9 to 11 correspond to evaluation and the other 103 to 105 to study hours.
Besides Tecnologia Farmacêutica, the student must be aware of the following subjects: Surface phenomena and Macromolecules and colloids (from Applied Physics) and Coligative properties of solutions (from General and Inorganic Chemistry).
Learning outcomes and competences
To konw how to formulate and prepare, from the magistral or industrial points of view:
1 - ophtalmic, nasal and parenteric dosage forms,
2 - modified release dosage forms.
Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
The students should have obtained frequency, with success, of the courses on Tecnologia Farmacêutica I, Tecnologia Farmacêutica II and Tecnologia Farmacêutica III.
