    Course Description

    This course provides the knowledge base to be used in subsequent pharmacy courses
    and professional practice. The student will study the theory and problems involved in
    incorporating chemicals into stable dosage forms suitable for human medication as
    well as the routes of drug administration. The basics of the appropriate handling and
    use of various dosage forms will also be presented. The laboratory will expose the
    student to common dosage forms, will illustrate important physical principles, and will
    develop basic manipulative skills.

    Examinations and Grading

    Three written examinations will be given during the quarter. Two 1-hour midterm
    exams (50 pts.) covering lecture and laboratory material will be given in class. A 2-
    hour cumulative final exam over lecture and laboratory material (100 pts.) will be
    given during the scheduled final exam period.

    *Make-up of missed exams will be allowed only under exceptional circumstances.

    The laboratory score (100 pts.) will be based on the quality of preparations and
    graded questions from each laboratory.

    Thus, the total course score will be obtained as follows:

    Midterm 1 50 pts.

    Midterm 2 50 pts.

    Final 100 pts.

    Lab 100 pts.

    Total 300 pts.

    Objectives

    This course will enable the successful student to:

    1. Accurately and rapidly weigh quantities of material on a prescription balance.

    2. Make visual approximations of weight of a solid or the volume of a liquid.

    3. Choose an appropriate dosage form on the basis of the properties of the raw
    drug.

    4. Choose an appropriate dosage form for a given route of drug administration.

    5. Accurately and rapidly weigh, measure, combine, and formulate raw materials
    into acceptable dosage forms.

    6. Identify common dosage forms by appearance and physical properties.


    2
    7. Understand and explain the importance of solubility principles, acid-base theory,
    colligative properties, and interfacial phenomena in the preparation and stability
    of dosage forms.

    8. Explain the purpose of ingredients found in various prescription and non-


    prescription products.

    9. Explain the proper use, as well as the practical, economic, and therapeutic
    advantages and disadvantages of common dosage forms.

    10. Synthesize dosage form theory and information into impromptu patient advice on
    use and storage of a dispensed medication.

    11. Describe methods for stabilizing and preserving medications.

    12. Detect drug or vehicle incompatibilities in prescriptions.

    13. Understand the basic principle of various routes of drug administration.
