| THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MAIN PHARMACEUTICAL VETERINARY DOSAGE FORMS, METHODS FOR THEIR FORMULATION AND MANUFACTURING, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DIFFERENT ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION, STABILITY AND BIOAVAILABILITY OF THE ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS (API). BY THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY LOOK AT VETERINARY MEDICINES RECOGNIZING THE TECHNOLOGICAL ROLE OF EXCIPIENTS AND API AND THE INFLUENCE ON THE DRUG RELEASE KINETICS FROM THE DOSAGE FORMS. LABORATORY ACTIVITIES: THE COURSE AIMS AT ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES FOR THE COMPOUNDING OF VETERINARY MEDICINES, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE STANDARDS (GMP AND GPP), QUALITY CONTROLS AND LABELLING. THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE SKILLS IN THE COMPOUNDING OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORMS AND LABELS ACCORDING TO EU REGULATION; GIVE INDICATIONS ABOUT STABILITY AND ASSUMPTION RECOMMENDATIONS. |

| THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS, A THEORETICAL PART OF 6 CFU/48 HOURS AND A PRACTICAL PART OF 3 CFU/24 HOURS. THEORETICAL PART - INTRODUCTION: COURSE CONTENT, EXAM METHODS. IMPORTANCE AND ROLE OF PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY, VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCTS (2 H). BIOAVAILABILITY AND ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION IN THE VETERINARY FIELD (2H) ORAL ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION: LIQUID PREPARATIONS: (SOLUTIONS, SUSPENSIONS, EMULSIONS) 10H SEMI-SOLID PREPARATIONS (PASTES AND GEL) 4H SOLID PREPARATIONS: (POWDERS, GRANULES, CAPSULES, TABLETS AND BOLUS) 12 H MODIFIED DRUG RELEASE (INTRARUMINE) 2H PARENTERAL ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION (SOLUTIONS, SUSPENSIONS, EMULSIONS AND IMPLANTS) 6H INTRAMAMMARY ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION 4H TOPICAL AND TRANSDERMAL ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION ( CREAMS, OINTMENTS, PASTES) 6H ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION IN THE BODY CAVITY (RECTAL, VAGINAL, NASAL, OTOLOGIC, OPHTHALMIC) 4H FOR EACH ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION THE CHARACTERISTICS, THE MAIN DOSAGE FORMS WITH REQUIREMENTS, PHARMACOPEA TESTS AND SOME COMMERCIAL EXAMPLES ARE DISCUSSED. PRACTICAL PART: MILLING AND MIXING OF POWDERS (4H) PREPARATION OF A POWDER FORMULATION (4H) PREPARATION OF RIGID CAPSULES (4H) PREPARATION OF SEMI-SOLID FORMULATIONS (4H PALATABLE GEL, 4H PALATABLE PASTA) PREPARATION OF A LIQUID FORMULATION (MEDICATED SYRUP) 4H |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LECTURES; EXERCISES WITH THE DIRECT PARTICIPATION OF THE STUDENT; PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES IN THE LABORATORY. THE LESSONS' ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY FOR A MINIMUM OF 75% OF THE SCHEDULED HOURS |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACTUAL ACQUISITION OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS PROVIDED BY THE COURSE WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH TWO TESTS: - WRITTEN TEST WHICH WILL INCLUDE TOPICS FROM BOTH MODULES (OPEN QUESTIONS, MULTIPLE ANSWER AND CALCULATION EXERCISES) ON ALL TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE. THE TIME ESTIMATED FOR THE TEST IS 1 HOUR. IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONSULT TEXTS OR USE PC, SMART PHONES. CALCULATOR IS ALLOWED. - ORAL TEST AIMED AT ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECT AND COMPARE IN A TRANSVERSAL WAY DIFFERENT ASPECTS COVERED DURING THE COURSE. THE TWO TESTS TAKE PLACE FROM 2 DAYS TO MAXIMUM 1 WEEK APART FROM EACH OTHER. TO PASS THE EXAM IT IS NECESSARY TO REACH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 18 OUT OF 30. IF THE SECOND TEST IS INSUFFICIENT, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REPEAT BOTH TESTS. THE FINAL ASSESSMENT (EXAM MARK) WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF THE STUDENT'S ANSWERS CONSIDERING BOTH THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE STUDENT'S EXPOSITION ABILITY. THE FINAL MARK IS NORMALLY FORMULATED TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OF BOTH TESTS. |
