Description
The main aim of this course is to review the science relating
to tabletted and encapsulated pharmaceutical products. The
course begins with a consideration of raw material testing and
the basic aspects of powder and granulation technology,
progresses through formulation of solid dosage forms to
manufacturing processes and equipment including scale-up
and technology transfer. The program concludes with key
aspects of the evaluation of finished products and the
regulatory constraints that must be considered at each stage.
Formal sessions of the course are supplemented with
informal discussion periods between lecturers and course
participants and problem-solving sessions are held on both an
open and private basis.
