Summary
This study analyzes modern approaches to pharmacist training in medicine quality assurance in Ukraine. A developed curriculum and blended learning methods enhance pharmacists' professional competencies for quality systems in pharmacy institutions.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy education
- Medicinal product quality assurance
Background:
- Ensuring medicine quality is crucial for public health.
- Pharmacists play a key role in medicine quality assurance.
- Modernizing pharmacist training is essential to meet evolving healthcare demands.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze, summarize, and substantiate modern approaches to forming professional competencies of pharmacists.
- Focus on medicine quality assurance within Ukrainian pharmacy institutions.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review and analysis of relevant literature and documents.
- Content analysis, generalization, and logical/graphical modeling were employed.
- Comparative analysis to evaluate different training approaches.
Main Results:
- A substantiated curriculum for the "Basic foundations of the functioning of quality systems in pharmacy institutions" thematic improvement cycle was developed.
- The program content prepares pharmacists for independent work in quality system implementation and support.
- Experience and advantages of training bases and blended learning were studied.
Conclusions:
- Modern approaches to pharmacist training in medicine quality assurance in Ukraine have been analyzed and substantiated.
- The developed program enhances pharmacists' ability to manage quality systems in various pharmacy settings.
- Blended learning and training bases represent effective modern educational strategies.

63
Pharmaceutical products contain more than just the active drug; they also contain various excipients such as binders, solubilizers, stabilizers, preservatives, and other elements. In some cases, impurities or contaminants might be present. Traditionally, quality control in pharmaceuticals has primarily focused on the analysis of the active drug, often overlooking the impact of these additional components. The recent issue with heparin contamination by over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a...

01:27Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Polymorphic Form-Related and Particle Size-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence
62
Changes in polymorphic forms can significantly influence the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Although the FDA defines pharmaceutical equivalence based on having the same active ingredient, dosage form, and route of administration, it does not automatically disqualify products with different polymorphic forms. This means two products with different polymorphs can still be deemed pharmaceutically equivalent. However, polymorphic differences can affect properties like wettability,...

01:18Formulation and Manufacturing Process: Physical Attributes of Generic Tablets and Capsules
54
Bioequivalence in generic drugs, such as tablets and capsules, refers to their pharmaceutical equivalence to the brand-name counterparts. However, for therapeutic equivalence, manufacturers must also consider physical attributes like size, shape, and weight (FDA Guidance for Industry, December 2003). Discrepancies in these aspects could impact patient compliance and cause medication errors. For instance, swallowing difficulties, often experienced with larger tablets or capsules, can lead to...

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

Product specifications define the acceptable quality of a pharmaceutical product by ensuring identity, purity, potency, and strength. These specifications serve as benchmarks during development, manufacturing, and post-approval quality control. Clinically relevant specifications are particularly important because they directly relate to a drug's safety and efficacy in clinical use.Dissolution studies are critical biopharmaceutic tools that link in vitro behavior to in vivo performance. They...

01:19Quality Assurance
574
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...
