Objectives

Aims:
To integrate and apply by the students’, knowledge acquired in Course Units propaedeutic and in the two Pharmaceutical Technologies previously taught.
Acquire knowledge that enables them to formulate, prepare and ensure the quality of skin preparations, rectal, vaginal, oromucosal and aerosols.
To know the process of industrial production for the group of the semisolids preparations for skin application and preparations for applying in vaginal, rectal and oromucosal mucous membranes.
To know the process for the production of aerosols and the varieties of forms existing on the market.
To achieve these goals, the student must apply 148.5 h (5.5 ECTS x 27 h), of which 25 h correspond to lectures and 20h to laboratory classes. Of the remaining 103.5 h, between 4 to 6:0 will correspond to the evaluation and the remaining 97.5 to 99.5 h correspond to the work/study time.
Skills:
Learn to formulate and prepare, from the industrial point of view and officinal compounding:
1 - cutaneous, vaginal, rectal and oromucosal medicines
Learn to formulate and prepare from the industrial point of view:
2 – medicated aerosol.
