2-YEAR DIPLOMA IN PHARMACY (D.PHARM)
Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm) is a two-year academic program streamlined to endow in-depth knowledge of science and technique behind the formulation of pharmacy practice and medicines management. The program fundamentally provides an overview of the conjecture principles and practices implicated in the science of pharmacy including core subjects like Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The curriculum and syllabi for the program are as per the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) the statutory body governing pharmacy profession in India. In this program students will gain insights into the chemical and physical properties chemical structure and uses of pharmaceutical formulae. The program encompasses knowledge about the natural medicines which are obtained from plants, animals, marine and biological sources. In addition, the program focuses on imparting knowledge about drugs used for different diseases, dosage absorption, mechanism of action, drug action, drug interaction and adverse reaction. Candidates seeking advance knowledge in the discipline can apply for higher education.
The core pharmacy subjects are Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy and Pharmacology.
Pharmaceutics
Pharmaceutics is one of the core pharmacy subjects which gives knowledge to the students about the different dosage forms, their manufacturing methods, active ingredients, additives, stability, their storage conditions, rules and regulations to be maintained in handling drugs, GMP, GAP, quality control, in-process control, community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, pharmacokinetics, posology, pharmaceutical calculations for delivering drug dosage, etc.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides a window to glance over chemical spectrum of a drug through physical, inorganic, organic chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and analytical chemistry.
Pharmacognosy
Pharmacognosy gives complete knowledge about the natural medicines which are obtained from plants, animals, marine and microbiological sources.
Pharmacology
Pharmacology gives knowledge about human anatomy and physiology, drugs used for different diseases, dosage, routes of administration, absorption, mechanism of action, drug interaction, adverse reaction, side effects, drug excretion, alternative drugs, etc.
The Institute provides a stimulating and productive environment for Pharmaceutical education and research. It provides a healthy academic atmosphere for the students in which their performance and growth are assessed and developed.
