The aim of this course is to simulate the pharmaceutical quality control laboratory. Students are introduced to pharmaceutical terms, definitions and forms, drug legislations, and regulatory agencies (FDA, TPP). Strong emphasis is placed on the navigation and interpretation of pharmacopeial compendia (USP, BP, EP). Practical aspects include physical, wet chemical and instrumental analyses of drug substances, in-process materials and finish products using official pharmacopeial methodologies. This course is taught at Seneca College.
