Indicative Syllabus
Introduction to Pharmaceuticals
Terminology, general requirements of pharmaceuticals the manufacturing processes and pharmaceutical companies.
Pharmaceutical Products
Classification of pharmaceuticals, topical, oral dose, parenterals, aerosol, OTC, prescription, sustained release products, biopharmaceuticals etc.
Overview of Pharmaceutical Manufacture
The manufacturing cycle in the production of pharmaceuticals. Processes of formulating, mixing, drying, micronizing, encapsulation, tableting. Product recovery and downstream processing. Solvent recovery and waste minimization.
GMP in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Raw Material Control and Production Procedures: batch control and identification, processing, package and labeling. Requirements for the validation of processes and equipment and the adoption of processes controls. Safety issues in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The Standard Operating Procedure
The importance of quality and product safety by standardizing work practices and controlling procedures in GMP environment.
Quality in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Role of regulatory authorities , Irish Medicines Board (IMB), European Medicines Agency(EMEA), Food and Drug Administration(FDA). International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH).
Drug Discovery and Development Processes
Natural and synthetic products and related discovery/development processes, new product development cycle, common active pharmaceutical ingredients and their structural features, relationships between drug structure, physical and chemical properties, mode of action and life cycle.
