About this book
This is the practical companion every D.Pharma First Year student needs alongside the Pharmaceutics theory textbook. Written strictly as per the PCI Education Regulation 2020 practical syllabus (ER20-11P), it walks through every experiment on the official list in the order students perform them in the laboratory.
Students learn to handle and refer to official references — the Pharmacopoeias and Formularies — and then formulate, dispense, package and label the full range of dosage forms: liquid orals (Simple Syrup, Piperazine Citrate Elixir, Aqueous Iodine Solution), emulsions (Castor Oil, Cod Liver Oil), suspensions (Calamine Lotion, Magnesium Hydroxide Mixture), ointments and creams (Simple Ointment, Sulphur Ointment, Cetrimide Cream), gels, liniments (Turpentine, White Liniment BPC), dry powders, sterile injections (Normal Saline, Calcium Gluconate), hard gelatine capsules (Tetracycline) and tablets (Paracetamol). It also covers common cosmetic preparations, the stages of tablet manufacturing, the correct usage and storage of special dosage forms such as inhalers, spacers and insulin pens, and quality-control tests for tablets, capsules, emulsions and sterile injections.
Each procedure is written clearly enough to follow at the bench and to reproduce in the practical record, making lab sessions and internal examinations far easier to prepare for. Use it together with the Pharmaceutics theory textbook for complete coverage of the paper.
Published by Shree Sai Prakashan, Meerut — a trusted name in academic and professional pharmacy textbooks across India — and suitable for D.Pharma First Year students at every PCI-approved institute nationwide.
