   The practicals of this subject include the manufacture of dosage forms like tablets, capsules, injections, infusions, liquid orals, and semisolids. The students are asked to prepare dosage formulations on a laboratory scale. Therefore, in most of the cases, the students need to use the instruments that are employed in industry or otherwise mimic the conditions similar to that of industry. These experiments are designed to meet all these needs.
   General principles are written separately for each group of formulation. For a few parenteral formulations, incompatibility information is given. This manual additionally comprises of manufacturer’s definition, standards, and usual strength for all formulations. Manufacturer’s definition is specific to the manufacturer and enables the pharmacist to maintain reproducible production batches.
   Special emphasis is focused on the following:
       • General principles
       • Examples, diagrams, graphs, tables
       • Evaluation
       • Appendices
       • Question bank
       • Model question papers
