Pharmaceutics is the study of quantitative aspects of drug delivery. It involves the design, development and evaluation of drugs in combination with an appropriate dosage form. The department has spacious laboratories, machine room, latest Instruments like Rotary tablet punching machine, eight basket Dissolution Apparatus, Disintegration apparatus, Stability chamber, BOD Incubator etc., Pre formulation studies, drug excipient compatibility studies and stability studies are carried out in the department with the focus on developing newer dosage forms. The department also has a bio-technology laboratory in which the study of enzyme technology, fermentation, bioassay, micro biological assays are carried out.
The main focus of the research activities in the department is on the development of novel drug delivery systems such as microspheres, mucoadhesives, transdermal patches, nano particles, liposomes and colon targeted drug delivery systems. Our faculty members have published many research papers in International and national Journals.
