PHARMACEUTICS is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with the science of dosage form design and clasps all features of the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) into a medication that can be safely and effectively used by patients. Pharmaceutics is the study of relationship between drug formulation, delivery, disposition and clinical response. Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug substance, which may include generic drugs, into dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, creams, gels, ointments, transdermal and transmucosal patches, solutions, sprays, eye and ear drops, injectables and many others. Successful formulations by pharmaceutical scientists translate to commercialized over-the-counter or prescription products. Recent research going on in our pharmaceutics department focuses mainly on development and design of physiologically based approaches to drug delivery and drug disposition. |
