Pharmaceutical microbiology is the part of industrial microbiology that is responsible for ensuring medications do not contain harmful levels of microbes such as bacteria , yeasts and moulds . Drug Safety Drug safety is a major focus of pharmaceutical microbiology. Pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, moulds and toxins produced by microorganisms are all possible contaminants of medicines although stringent, regulated processes are in place to ensure the risk is minimal. Antimicrobial activity Another major focus of pharmaceutical microbiology is to determine how a product will react in cases of contamination . For example You have a bottle of cough medicine . Imagine you take the lid off, pour yourself a dose and forget to replace the lid. You come back to take your next dose and discover that you have indeed left the lid off for a few hours. What happens if a microorganism fell in whilst the lid was off? There are tests that look at that. The product is challenged with a known amount of specific microorganisms, such as E.coli and C.albicans and the anti microbial activity monitored. Methods and specifications Testing of pharmaceutical products is carried out according to a Pharmacopeia of which there are a few types. For example In America, the United States Pharmacopeia is used in Japan there is the Japanese Pharmacopeia in the United Kingdom there is the British Pharmacopoeia and in Europe the European Pharmacopeia . These contain a test method which is to be followed when testing, along with defined specifications for the amount of microorganisms allowed in a given amount of product. The specifications change depending on the product type and method in which it is introduced to the body. Category Microbiology pharmacology stub ... more details

Pharmaceutical care is the responsible provision of drug therapy for the purpose of achieving de elimination or reduction of a patient s symptomatology arresting or slowing of a disease process or preventing a disease or symptomatology. ref http www.qu.edu.qa pharmacy professional development documents Responsibilities Hepler Strand.pdf Hepler CD, Strand LM. Opportunities and responsibilities in pharmaceutical care. Am J Hosp Pharm. 1990 47 3 533 43. ref Concept This process requires a clinical pharmacist to review a patient s medication with reference to the doctor s diagnoses, laboratory tests and patient s information. The clinical pharmacist must therefore work very closely with the doctor and patient in order to gain a correct understanding of the relevance and impact of the various medications on the patient s pathology. The pharmaceutical care process was originally conceived to be undertaken in a community pharmacy by community pharmacists. In 1996 the Pharmaceutical Society of NZ began a programme to implement the process throughout New Zealand. While some 500 pharmacists undertook an expensive training, it was found that the basic skill level of most pharmacists was not sufficient to enable them to undertake an in depth review of the patients medication Citation Required . Pharmacists are now required to complete a postgraduate diploma in clinical pharmacy to enable them to practice as a Clinical Pharmacist before being considered competent to work at this level.

Pharmaceutical formulation , in pharmaceutics , is the process in which different chemical substances, including the active drug , are combined to produce a final medication medicinal product . Stages and timeline Formulation studies involve developing a preparation of the drug which is both stable and acceptable to the patient. For orally taken drugs, this usually involves incorporating the drug into a Tablet pharmacy tablet or a capsule pharmacy capsule . It is important to appreciate that a tablet contains a variety of other substances apart from the drug itself, and studies have to be carried out to ensure that the drug is compatible with these other substances. Preformulation involves the characterization of a drug s physical, chemical, and mechanical properties in order to choose what other ingredients should be used in the preparation. In dealing with protein pre formulation, the important aspect is to understand the solution behavior of a given protein under a variety of stress conditions such as freeze thaw, temperature, shear stress among others to identify mechanisms of degradation and therefore its mitigation. ref Simler, R., Walsh, G., Mattaliano, R.J., Guziewicz, N., and Perez Ramirez, B. 2008 .
