Scope: The course deals with the various physicaL and physicochemical properties, and principles involved in dosage forms/formulations. Theory and practical components of the subject help the student to get a better insight into various areas of formulation research and development, and stability studies of pharmaceutical dosage forms. 

Objectives: Upon the completion of the course student shall be able to  Understand various physicochemical properties of drug molecules in the designing the dosage forms  Know the principles of chemical kinetics & to use them for stability testing and determination of expiry date of formulations  Demonstrate use of physicochemical properties in the formulation development and evaluation of dosage forms.
