1 COURSE & PRACTICAL OUTLINE
This course introduces students to various pharmaceutical sterile dosage forms including
parenteral, ophthalmic, antiserum, human blood and biotechnological preparations. This
course also covers topics such as labelling and packaging for sterile products, sterilisation
methods and testing methods required for sterile preparations.
Formal teaching comprises 27 one-hour lectures, 3 three-hour tutorials and 5 three-hour
practical classes (including practical term test). Students are expected to use the reference
sources in the library to supplement the course material provided in this manual. In particular,
we will require you to undertake a significant amount of preparation prior to practical classes.
If you experience difficulties please come and speak to the member of staff responsible for

PRACTICAL CLASSES & TUTORIALS
Learning objectives of practical classes:
In successfully completing practical classes in this course, students will be able to:
a) develop strategies for formulating, manufacturing and sterilising parenteral and
ophthalmic products, with the ability to tailor each of these activities to the
properties of the drug/vehicle and the intended route of administration
b) understand the principles and applications of pharmacopoeial sterilisation
processes
c) recognise the need for a compatible and suitable packaging for sterile
pharmaceutical products
Practical classes cover terminally sterilised products as listed below:
1. Intravenous infusions
2. Injections (multiple dose)
3. Ampoules
4. Eye drops
Tutorials will be conducted a week before practical classes to discuss on the strategies for
formulating, manufacturing and sterilising parenteral and ophthalmic products.
