10 Tips for Fresh Graduates Seeking Jobs in the Pharmaceutical Industry
In the real world of pharmaceutical carriers, it is challenging to find a dream job after graduation. For many fresh candidates, a question arises "From where I should start". With the growing competition, it is essential to build a strategy in the early days of your job search. Following are some actionable tips to help you find your first pharmaceutical job.
Generic Pharmaceutical Drugs
When a drug company first invents a drug, only that company is allowed to make that drug in the same country for a certain number of years and known as an innovator drug. The same drug can be manufactured by other companies after a certain period of time. These drugs are called generic drugs. FDA estimates that innovator firms manufactured over 50% of generic products.
Pharmaceutical Labeling Requirements
The label plays an important role which allows the customer to have complete information regarding the product which includes ingredients of the product, its usage, and caution in use, precautions to be taken while using it, manufacturing date, batch number etc. Drug labeling refers to all the information printed which includes instructions, ingredients, and a lot more information that accompanie…
Bioavailability of Drugs
It is only possible to get the therapeutic effects of any drug when the drug can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to making an enhancement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability of drugs indicates the percentage, amount or concentration of drug that reaches into the systemic circulation and is available at the site of action. When the drug is administered into the bo…
Transdermal Patches and Their Working
Having a powerful attitude, prolific mindset, and put under a magnifying glass test-and-adapt approach is the definitive way to stay firmly in front of any racing – and it’s a sure bet against becoming complacent. This dynamic mindset and out-of-the-box thinking made researchers develop something new, not the conventional one and this leads to the development of “Transdermal Patches.
Novel Drug Delivery System
Before we comprehend the idea of a Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS), or before we gain some insight into what made researchers develop such a new, advanced and innovative drug delivery system i.e, NDDS, let us first understand the concept of “Drug delivery”. What is drug delivery? In simple terms, it can be understood as a method or a process of administering or delivering a pharmaceutical compo…
Mechanism of Drug Release from Oral Dosage Forms
Oral solid dosage has been a predominant form to provide Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) to a patient. The disintegration of the drug through oral dosage forms has been a cause of major bioavailability problems in the past. Therefore, the mechanism is carefully controlled in pharmaceutical products. Oral dosage usually refers to the category of drugs administered to the patient in the f…
Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
Good Clinical Practice and reports are related to clinical trials. The biggest ethical factor with clinical trials is the fact that the research is conducted on human subjects. GCP is an international standard concerning clinical trials and their proper implementation. GCP defines all aspects of clinical trials, starting with design and conduct, through performance, monitoring and auditing, to re…
Difference between Injection and Infusion
Both injection and infusion are medical terminologies. They are both ways of administering medicine to a patient and important in health and life-saving. The medicine is usually in liquid form. Many people are usually confused and do not know their differences.
Different Routes of Drug Administration
Routes of administration of a drug are determined by its physical and chemical properties, patient characteristics and the rapidity of response desired. Major routes are oral, parenteral and topical.
1. The oral route of administration is the safest, most economical and the most convenient way of giving medicines. The dosage forms of the oral route include Tablets, Capsules, Powders, Mixtures, Emu…

Different Types of Dosage Forms in Pharmaceuticals
A drug is defined as a substance used for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. A dosage form of a drug is a product suited for administration to the patient by various routes for diagnosis or treatment of disease.
Suitable dosage forms are needed for protection of the drug from destructive influences of the atmospheric oxygen or moisture, for protection of drug from destruction from ga…

Differences between Syrups and Suspensions
Do you know that all pharmaceutical syrups are not manufactured equally? If you don’t, then don’t scratch your head. In fact, there is a subtle difference in these products that can cause ineffective use in clinical effects. Pharmaceutical syrup generally can be broken down into different categories i.e. suspensions, solutions, elixirs and emulsions.
Technology Transfer Guidelines for Pharmaceuticals
Technology transfer is the process by which the manufacturing process and analytical method are transferred from one manufacturing unit to another unit or from R&D to manufacturing unit.
Lubricant Concentration in Pharmaceutical Products
Lubricants are agents added in small quantities to tablet and capsule formulations to reduce the friction and improve certain processing characteristics.
