What is pharmaceutical technology?
Pharmaceutical technology, also known as PharmTech, represents the application of scientific knowledge or knowledge domain and/or various technologies to pharmacology, pharmacy, and the pharmaceutical industry.
Like pharmaceutics, it deals with improving the procedure of compounding and dosage of drugs, NCEs, and preparation.
Additionally, it’s instrumental in the measurement, evaluation, and optimization of values and data such as bioavailability, fabric crystallinity, bulk density, hygroscopicity, thermal properties, solubilization, stability analysis, pKa determination, etc.
PharmTech also deals with methods, techniques, devices, and instruments required to develop, manufacture, distribute (to location), store, and dispense drugs.
Additionally, it works hand in hand with medical technology.
After all, it concerns itself with how the aforementioned drugs can be used in the screening, diagnostics, diagnosis, and treatment of the patients.
