The pharmaceutical technology department has therefore devoted 20% of the pharmaceutical Technology III course offered to the 9th semester pharmacy students to highlight various areas in which GUC pharmacy students exceed expectations though “The Industrial Pharmacy Exhibition Project”.
As part of this project the students have initially paid visits to various pharmaceutical production facilities and observed the main production lines; tablets, capsules, syrups, semi-solid dosage forms, suppositories, etc.
They were acquainted with the different departments and areas in the factory starting from storage, production, Quality Control and Quality Assurance, Research and Development departments.
Next, in groups of 10, students were then assigned a dosage form and relevant production line and were requested to formulate the dosage from, pack it, design a logo, run relevant Quality Control tests and provide the results in a typed-professional report. In addition, they develop a machete for one of the machines used on an industrial scale to prepare their dosage forms and prepare a video introducing their dosage form, production line, the team and company.
