Solid Oral Dosage Forms 2 (PIAT 7)

PHAR71070 Solid Oral Dosage Forms 2 (PIAT 7) 15 Variable teaching patterns Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Richard Moreton Unit coordinator Pharmacy 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 This unit builds on the teaching from Oral Solid Dosage Forms – 1. It begins by covering the basic pharmacokinetic concepts associated with oral controlled release and continues with an introduction to polymer science. This is followed by sections on matrix release systems and reservoir systems.Further topics include the manufacture of soft gelatin capsule, the formulation of poorly soluble compounds, formulation and process design, evaluation of oral solid dosage forms, experimental design and design of experiments, continuous manufacturing of oral solid dosage forms and expert systems.  This unit builds on the teaching from Oral Solid Dosage Forms – 1.

The unit aims to build on what was learned in the PHAR17040: Solid Oral Dosage forms - 1 by introducing students to: <ul> <li> pharmacokinetics of multiple dosing and modified release;</li> <li> formulation of modified release oral solid dosage forms;</li> <li> polymer chemistry;</li> <li> formulation and manufacture of soft gelatin capsules;</li> <li> formulation of poorly soluble drugs;</li> <li> evaluation of oral solid dosage forms;</li> <li> formulation and process design and development;</li> <li> experimental design;</li> <li> continuous manufacturing for oral solid dosage forms;</li> <li> expert systems.</li> </ul> Students should be able to: <ul> <li>Understand the reasons for and the formulation of modified release oral solid dosage forms. </li> <li>Understand sufficient polymer chemistry to work efficiently with polymer chemists.</li> <li>Understand the formulation and manufacture of soft gelatin capsules.</li> <li>Understand the requirements for the formulation design and development process and experimental designs.</li> <li>Understand the differences between traditional manufacture and continuous manufacturing for oral solid dosage forms.</li> <li>Understand the evaluation of oral solid dosage forms. </li></ul> Students should be able to: <ul> <li>Assess the applicability of different delivery technologies for the formulation of poorly soluble drugs.</li> <li>Demonstrate awareness of expert systems and how they can be applied in pharmaceutical formulation.</li></ul> Students should be able to:•    Advise on the formulation design and development of modified release oral solid dosage forms, and the formulation of poorly soluble compounds (including soft gelatin capsule). •    Provide input on the evaluation and control of oral solid dosage forms. •    Advise on current trends in the design, development and manufacture of oral solid dosage <div>Students are provided with the learning material in soft copy form. The learning material comprises 13 chapters and builds on the foundational knowledge acquired in PHAR71040 to cover more in-depth themes relating to oral solid dosage forms. Each chapter contains a number of exercises together with suggested answers for students to check their learning as they progress through the unit. A reference list of further reading is provided for each chapter allowing the student to investigate the subject area more deeply, and the unit tutor is available to answer queries and provide guidance as required. The face-to-face workshop at the annual workshop event explores key areas of the unit through a range of hands-on exercises and practical demonstrations.  </div>  2 Written assignment (inc essay) 100% Feedback returned by email within 15 working days.
