BACHELOR OF PHARMACY (B.Pharm)
Course Overview
Pharmaceutics is a key subject within the Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) program that focuses on the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) into a medication that can be safely and effectively used by patients. This course provides a thorough understanding of the formulation, preparation, and dispensing of various pharmaceutical products. At Kangeyam Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research, we emphasize both the theoretical and practical aspects of pharmaceutics to ensure students gain hands-on experience in drug formulation and delivery systems.
