Learning Objectives

• Pharmaceutical Technology and Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Technology
  

  The course aims to deepen technological, biopharmaceutical and formulative aspects of both traditional and innovative pharmaceutical formulation, now available to the medical therapy.

  In particular, it will be pay great attention to the fields of interest concerning the preparation of both magistral and officinal galenic medicines, and controls assay provided by the NBP (Guidelines of good preparation) and the Pharmacopoeia in force.

• Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Galenic
  

  The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge for the shipment of a galenic recipe and to deepen their knowledge on galenic preparations, main pharmaceutical operations and current legislation.

  The course is organized in lectures and laboratory exercises, both single and group.

  During the laboratory exercises the student will have the opportunity to face in itinere tests (evaluation to feedback) on the shipment of a galenic recipe, in order to facilitate the learning process.

   

  EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES - GALENIC LABORATORY A-L

  At the end of the course the student will be able to:

  - Acquire awareness of the pharmacist's responsibilities within the galenic laboratory;
  - Understand the correct way to complete the documentation supplied with the shipment of a galenico;
  - Apply the current legislation for the correct pricing of a galenic;
  - Recognize the mandatory formal aspects in a masterly prescription for the purposes of its acceptance;
  - Evaluate the checks to be carried out when shipping a magistral galenic prescription;
  - Establish the main galenic pharmaceutical forms in the solid, liquid and semisolid state;
  - Organize the activity within the galenic laboratory in compliance with the NBP.
