About
Pharmaceutical Technology is a branch of engineering and is the study of the origin, preparation, properties, effects, dosage and dispensation of medicines. Pharmaceutical engineers design, construct, maintain and operate the technology used to research and manufacture pharmaceutical drugs.They are involved in the conception, design, construction, and operation of industrial plants in which the above processes take place, increasingly with design at the molecular scale being more and more significant. The primary goal of pharmaceutical technology is to improve the effectiveness and safety of drugs, reduce side effects, and enhance patient compliance. The duration of the course is four years and it is career orienting in nature. The course is beneficial for understand the process involved in production and purification of medical compound in the laboratory / bulk drug manufacturing industry, characterization of these compounds and stepwise handling of drug materials in formulation industry.
