DEPARTMENTS: D. Pharm. programmes educate the young pharmacist with expertise in areas ranging from Community Pharmacy to Industrial Pharmacy
PHARMACEUTICS:- is the science of dosage form design and deals with the processing of a New Chemical Entity (NCE) into a safe and effective formulation. A student develops his thought processes towards formulation development through the study of the various topics contained in the subjects of Physical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Cosmeticology, Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics, and Novel Drug Delivery Systems. Course material content comprising of theory and practicals in each of the above mentioned subjects trains the students in procedures for drug and formulation development as well as the operations of an industrial setup.
PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY:- includes subjects of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis. During the 2 year program students are instructed in all aspects of drug design- from the chemistry of drugs, their structural modifications and synthesis of bulk drugs; to the quality control and quality assurance of formulations.
PHARMACOLOGY:- deals with the pattern of drug treatment and mechanisms of drug action. With the study of Anatomy, Physiology & Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacy and Drug Interactions, the focus is to elucidate the complexity of drug therapy while the laboratory sessions enable students to comprehend the various parameters useful for the analysis of drug action.
PHARMACOGNOSY:- encompasses the study of crude drugs that include plant, animal and marine sources. The subject deals with the discovery, characterization, production and standardization of drugs from natural sources and forms a basis for the study of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. These four core subjects are complemented by the study of other auxiliary subjects like Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Hospital Pharmacy, Drug Store Management, Jurisprudence, Mathematics and Statistics. With this intense program of study a graduate in Pharmacy is equipped for an array of career opportunities available in Production, Formulation & Development, Research & Development, Quality Control & Analysis, Regulatory Affairs, Marketing & Sales, Hospital & Community Pharmacy.
INSTRUMENT ROOM and MACHINE ROOM:- are fully operational with state-of-the-art equipment and modern machinery. Equipments and machines required to deal with dosage development including liquid orals, ointments, creams, gels, powders, capsules, tablets, coating pan, size reduction mills are in use. Sophisticated analytical instruments, such as UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, necessary for the analysis of various formulations have been provided. The campus has power 24x 7, and UPS services required for the operation of these equipments and machinery during analysis and testing are available.
