Pharmaceutics is a core subject in B. Pharm and it is one of the most diversified fields of study in pharmaceutical sciences. In a nutshell, it is focused on the scientific and technological facets of the development and production of dosage forms or pharmaceuticals. All pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who are interested in transforming a drug or a potential drug into a medication that can be
administered to the patient safely, effectively, and efficiently need to have a solid understanding of pharmaceutics. It basically deals with the process of converting a novel chemical entity (NCE) or an existing medicine into a medication. It’s also known as dosage form design science where a student learns various techniques of developing a formulation. Many compounds have pharmacological characteristics,
but many require specific handling to obtain therapeutically relevant concentrations at their areas of action. Pharmaceutics aids in the connection between medication formulation, distribution and clearance in the body.
