Annotation
The structure of drug is the key point for the choice of the appropriate analytical technique.
Subject Analysis of chemical drugs brings theoretical and practical knowledge concerning the principles of quality assurance, safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals. The course is designed not only for the current Czech and European Pharmacopoeia but it is also based on other modern pharmacopoeial monographs (e.g.The United States Pharmacopoeia). It also addresses other areas such as drug analysis in biological material.
