This book is conceived to reflect the practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy. The contents of this book are an integral part of the syllabi prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India and Indian universities. This practical book covers whole of the experimental component specified in the syllabus. Authors have made special attempts to cover all aspects ranging from preformulation studies, dosage form design, product manufacturing process and evaluation. This book only discusses relevant information and has been written in simple, straightforward language. The main motivation behind this book was to cover all the important practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy I under one umbrella at an affordable price to encourage students to read and learn.
We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Industrial Pharmacy I'. We believe that the manual will fulfill the aspirations of Industrial Pharmacy teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. Each experiment is arranged sequentially such as aim, practical significance, practical outcomes, theory, requirements, procedure, observations, calculations, results, conclusions and synopsis questions. Each experiment offers an opportunity to perform practical work, allowing students to acquire proficiency in effectively managing equipment, handling glassware, chemicals and writing conclusion. In addition, questions are provided at the end of the experiments to enhance student’s knowledge, which will be beneficial for them as they pursue higher studies. During the laboratory period you will have to multitask, while you are doing experiment. It is essential to document properly what you do and what you observe while doing the practical. Always plan your work ahead and think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, what is happening and what you can conclude from your experiment. This manual is a sincere effort to improve the practical skills of the students so that every student will understand the objective of each experiment and perform their practical’s 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!"
This book, “”A Practical Book of Industrial Pharmacy – I (As Per PCI Syllabus, B. Pharm, 5th Sem”” was written by four different authors in accordance with the B. Pharm fifth-semester PCI curriculum. The primary purpose of this book is to provide readily accessible methods and procedures for conducting Industrial Pharmacy-I practicals in the fifth semester of B. Pharm, with a focus on facilitating subject comprehension. It contains 15 experiments based strictly on the PCI curriculum. It includes the practicals that will provide a sound knowledge about performing preformulation studies on the powders. Also performing the practicals will help the students to understand the methodologies involved in the preparation of tablets, capsules, ointments and creams. Furthermore, they will also be learning how to evaluate the formulations so prepared which will be helpful if they prefer working in pharmaceutical industries. Industrial pharmacy-I practical helps the students in having a profound knowledge of operating sophisticated equipments which will are also being used in pharmaceutical industries starting from the preformulation, manufacturing and till the evaluation.
"Pharmaceutical Technology: A Practical Manual" discusses the techniques used in manufacturing and evaluation of different dosage forms in simple and easy to understand manner with the support of theory and experiments.
This book contains essential knowledge on the preparation, control, logistics, dispensing and use of medicines. It features chapters written by experienced pharmacists working in hospitals and academia throughout Europe, complete with practical examples as well as information on current EU-legislation. From prescription to production, from usage instructions to procurement and the impact of medicines on the environment, the book provides step-by-step coverage that will help a wide range of readers. It offers product knowledge for all pharmacists working directly with patients and it will enable them to make the appropriate medicine available, to store medicines properly, to adapt medicines if necessary and to dispense medicines with the appropriate information to inform patients and caregivers about product care and how to maintain their quality. This basic knowledge will also be of help to industrial pharmacists to remind and focus them on the application of the medicines manufactured. The basic and practical knowledge on the design, preparation and quality management of medicines can directly be applied by the pharmacists whose main duty is production in community and hospital pharmacies and industries. Undergraduate as well as graduate pharmacy students will find knowledge and backgrounds in a fully coherent way and fully supported with examples.
This handbook features contributions from a team of expert authors representing the many disciplines within science, engineering, and technology that are involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing. They provide the information and tools you need to design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot a pharmaceutical manufacturing system. The editor, with more than thirty years' experience working with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, carefully reviewed all the chapters to ensure that each one is thorough, accurate, and clear.
Pharmaceutics is a broad field which is connected to and focused on discovering, formulating, optimizing, and manufacturing various dosage forms, along with their standardization. One of the most important distinctions between Industrial Pharmacy and other branches of Pharmaceutics is the strict requirements of pharmaceutical industry for good manufacturing practice (GMP). To excel as a pharmaceutical formulator, you must be able to handle the increasingly complex risk-based GMP demands from early conceptual design, qualification and validation to practical developmental implementation and execution of a pharmaceutical quality system. Keeping the requirements of B. Pharm 1st semester pharmacy students in view, an effort has been taken to present 32 experiments in this book as per the requirement mentioned by PCI syllabus. All the experiments are presented with theory, principle, procedure, use and storage along with tabulations. I hope the students will like to utilize this book while performing the experiments for Industrial Pharmacy and will definitely get acquainted with the concepts with greater precision. The concerned faculties will definitely appreciate this book as a handbook to train their students. For the improvement of the quality of the Pharmaceutics I Laboratory Manual suggestions and criticisms from all corners of profession are greatly welcome. I would be grateful to the readers if they draw my attention to the deficiencies and errors that might have remained.
