Drug therapy is nothing less than interference with a highly complex biological system, which is affected by various internal and external factors. A profound understanding of drug effects thus requires a transdisciplinary approach of investigation. The drug seminars provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of these transdisciplinary approaches for the investigation of drug action.

The students gain an overview on current principles, methodologies and systems for controlled delivery and targeting of drugs. This enables the students to understand and evaluate the field in terms of scientific criteria.

First identification with Pharmaceutical Sciences; motivation for profiling in the Natural Sciences, which are focused on within the first two years as a preparation for the specialized studies; sensitization for the duties and the responsibilities of a person with a federal diploma in Pharmacy; information about job opportunities.

Continues Galenical Pharmacy I. Powder technology. Tablets and tabletting. Coating technologies. Drug dissolution and release. Hard and soft gelatin capsules. Suppositories. Introduction to drug delivery and targeting. Drug delivery systems for peroral, transdermal, parenteral and mucosal administration.

Principles and technologies for the manufacturing of dosage forms and drug delivery systems. Knowledge of pharm. excipients, materials, containers, liquid and semi-solid dosage forms, their production, function, quality and application. Comprehension of molecular interactions in solution and colloidal systems. Comprehension of interfacial phenomena and stabilization measures in dosage forms.

First identification with Pharmaceutical Sciences; motivation for profiling in the Natural Sciences, which are focused on within the first two years as a preparation for the specialized studies; sensitization for the duties and the responsibilities of a person with a federal diploma in Pharmacy; information about job opportunities.

The students gain knowledge on excipients, the preparation of simple dosage forms under consideration of basic quality assurance requirements, on quality control of medicaments and pharmacopoeial requirements. This enables them to analyse and understand simple galenical problems, to study them experimentally, and to evaluate and present the data in a scientific format.
