Masterly’s Series, Lab Manual of Pharmaceutics (As Per GTU & PCI Syllabus)

Abstract

This laboratory manual serves as a structured, practical guide specifically curated for first-year B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy) students. It aligns directly with the foundational guidelines prescribed by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and Gujarat Technological University (GTU) syllabi. Core Focus Areas Dosage Form Formulation: The manual covers structural methodologies for preparing and evaluating conventional dosage forms, including syrups, elixirs, linctus's, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, ointments, creams, jellies, and suppositories. Compounding Techniques: Detailed procedures guide students through core calculation workflows, geometric dilution, triturating, blending, and physical evaluation of pharmaceutical preparations. Labelling & Packaging Regulations: It contains explicit instructions regarding official regulatory labelling requirements, proper container selection, storage conditions, and therapeutic advisory instructions. Practical Documentation: The book provides data tables, calculation frameworks, and assessment benchmarks to train students in executing error-free manufacturing records and maintaining professional lab journals. The goal of this manual is to translate theoretical concepts of physical pharmacy and basic compounding into hands-on industrial and clinical manufacturing competencies.
