This book is an invaluable source designed to meet the needs of pharm.D and other pharmacy courses. This book was made according to the PCI syllabus. This book covers topics like syrups, elixirs, linctus, solutions, liniments, suspensions, emulsions, powders, suppositories, incompatibilities, with an introduction before it. This book helps the student to write the academic pharmaceutics record more easily. It has been noticed that practical of pharmaceutics leave students a little confused, especially during their examination. Finally, this book aims to present the practicals in a student friendly style so that they can easily grasp and do the practicals in the lab more easily by own which interns will help them to achieve the best grades in examinations.
As per PCI Syllabus Guidelines, this is a Laboratory Manual book for the subject " Pharmaceutics". This book contains Experiments, References, Model Question Paper The book contains 44 Experiments.
We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Pharmacology III'. We believe that this laboratory manual will fulfill the aspirations of pharmacology teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. In addition, the mapping of PrOs with blooms taxonomy level is provided to know the level of learning. Moreover, the readings/observations/recorded graphs are given for the easy and in depth understanding of students. The experiments given are as per the OECD guidelines. Teacher and students have to use suitable software to know the demonstration of the experiment. The tables are given to record the observations from the software. In addition, the questions are given at the end of experiments so as to improve the learning of students.. This manual is a sincere effort to improve the critical thinking of students so that every student will understand the objective of each experiment and perform calculation smoothly. Theory of each experiment is given in all sixteen experiments making the manual more informative and interesting. We acknowledge the help and co-operation extended by various people in bringing out this manual. We are highly indebted to the authors of various books and articles mentioned in bibliography which became a major source of information for writing this manual. We also thank the publishers, designers and printers who graciously worked hard to publish this manual in time. We hope that this manual will assist students in understanding concepts, principles, and performing procedures. We wish you all the best!”
We are very pleased to put forth the revised edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Pharmaceutics'. We have incorporated all the suggestions, modified it to make it easier, student friendly and relevant in terms of achieving curriculum outcome. We are very much thankful to all the learned teachers who have given their feedback whole-heartedly. We have even incorporated the changes in this manual based on the feedback given by the teachers from all the institutes. Now, we believe that the manual has been fulfilling the aspirations of pharmaceutics teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2020 for Diploma Course in Pharmacy. The procedures and formulas of all the experiments are reviewed and added, so that the advancement in the methods or apparatus can be addressed. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. We have also given the readings for the reference of students and better understanding. Moreover, assessment scheme is also given to help the student and teacher to know what to be assessed. A sincere attempt has been made through this manual to provide practical knowledge to the students related to various topics of Pharmaceutics. The manual mainly includes the experiments through which the students will learn to prepare conventional dosage forms and few cosmetic formulations in the laboratory. Besides, experiments related to handling of Indian Pharmacopoeia and National formulary of India will make the students familiar with the Indian official compendiums. The demonstration based experiments will help the students to understand the tablet compression process and quality control test of tablets, capsules, emulsions and single-dose parenteral preparations. A brief introduction to various dosage forms before the related experiments can assist in better perception of the experiment. Each experiment is divided into sections like aim, practical significance, relevant professional competencies, relevant course outcomes, practical skills, relevant affective domain related outcomes, practical outcomes, minimum theoretical background, requirements, contents, marketed preparations, related questions, references and assessment scheme. The manual has been designed with more emphasis on the practical skill improvement of the students so that the students can perform the practical with ease and comfort. Hope this manual will help the students to learn the concept, principles and perform the experiments virtually. We wish you all the best!!!

We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Physical Pharmaceutics II'. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. A sincere attempt has been made through this manual to provide practical knowledge to the students related to various experiments in Physical Pharmaceutics II. The manual mainly includes the experiments through which the students will learn how the basic properties of drug like solubility, dissolution, can limit the bioavailability of drug and in turn the efficacy of the drug. The solubility enhancement techniques like reduction of particle size, use of solubilizing agents or prodrugs etc. are also discussed. The students will also learn about the importance of drug stability and how the parameters like temperature, pH, humidity and light can affect the drug stability. Physical pharmaceutics is very important subject which helps the researchers to design and formulate various dosage forms including its manufacturing aspects. The students will be proficient in handling various equipment used in physical pharmaceutics laboratory. The students will also be able to determine pKa, partition coefficient, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, HLB value, stability constant, buffer capacity, etc. in the laboratory. We have taken extra efforts to make the experiments simpler, easy to understand and perform. The graphs have also been provided wherever necessary. Each experiment is divided into sections like aim, practical significance, relevant course outcomes, practical skills, relevant affective domain related outcomes, practical outcomes, minimum theoretical background, requirements, related questions, and references. The manual has been designed with more emphasis on the practical skill improvement of the students so that the students can perform the practical with ease and comfort. We are very much thankful to the designer, publisher, printers and all the stakeholders for putting their efforts for successfully bringing this manual out for the students. Hope this manual will help the students to learn the concept, principles and perform the experiments. We wish them all the best!!!
