Explain the importance of sterility in ophthalmic solutions. Explain the importance of isotonicity in ophthalmic solutions.

Formulate and analyze a buffer solution of desired pH and buffer capacity. Identify the range of solution pH considered safe for ophthalmic solutions. Describe the use buffers in pharmaceutical solutions. Isotonicity Calculation & Ophtalmic Preparation:Define buffers, buffer capacity, isotonicity, iso-osmoticity, osmotic pressure, hypertonicity, hypotonicity. For each form, the principles of the formulation, the excipients, the methods of preparation and controls are approached.įormulate and prepare pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable Sterile parenteral preparations, ophthalmic preparations ,powders, granules, tablets, capsules, lozenges and their related quality controls. A personal work of the student is required for the pharmaceutical calculations. The topics detailed in course include Sterile parenteral preparations, ophthalmic preparations, as well as solid dosage forms (powders, granules, tablets, capsules, lozenges for oral route).The course also includes the formulation, manufacture and control of conventional solid and sterile pharmaceutical dosage forms. The course is to train the students to the formulation, manufacture and control of pharmaceutical dosage forms on the basis on the physicochemistry and bio-pharmacy knowledges acquired.
