Course Objectives
- Understand the principles of formulation and development of monophasic liquid dosage forms, including solvent selection and solubility enhancement techniques.
- Acquire knowledge of biphasic liquid dosage forms, including physicochemical principles, formulation strategies, manufacturing processes, and stability considerations.
- Develop competence in pressurised dosage forms such as aerosols, metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers, with emphasis on formulation design, device components, manufacturing, and quality evaluation.
- Understand the formulation, manufacturing, and evaluation of semisolid dosage forms, with emphasis on drug permeation through the skin and factors affecting topical drug delivery.
- Gain exposure to advanced drug delivery systems such as nanosuspensions, nanoemulsions, SMEDDS/SNEDDS, xerogels, and emulgels for improved therapeutic performance.
