PHYSICAL PHARMACEUTICS - 1

Subject Resource: PCI Syllabus

Physical Pharmaceutics – I is a fundamental subject in B.Pharmacy Semester 3 that introduces the physical and physicochemical principles underlying the design, formulation, manufacture, and evaluation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. The course covers essential concepts such as states of matter, phase equilibria, surface and interfacial phenomena, rheology, micromeritics, solubility, and complexation, which directly influence the stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic effectiveness of medicines. By understanding these principles, students develop the ability to formulate safe, stable, and effective pharmaceutical products. A strong foundation in Physical Pharmaceutics – I is essential for advanced studies in Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Technology, Biopharmaceutics, Industrial Pharmacy, and Novel Drug Delivery Systems, making it a cornerstone of pharmaceutical formulation and manufacturing sciences.
