THE MAIN LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE COURSE The main purpose for this course: The students must Be conversant with the types of solid dosage forms. Be able to prepare individual and bulk powders and granules. drying. reconstitution and packaging. Understand theoretical aspects of granulation, granulating agents and methods of preparations. Identify the types and application of tablets. Recognize the function of pharmaceutical additives in the formulations, tablet characteristics and quality control. Differentiate between hard and soft gelatin capsules. Realize the advantages and applications of capsules. hard and soft capsules. Enable students to understand the common knowledge of rectal, urethral and vaginal dosage form, their benefits and limitations, methods of manufacturing and quality assurance.
