The student will make and take home samples of the products made.
The student will:
- learn the correct processes involved in producing the basic material (crude drug) from harvesting through drying to storage.
- understand the various methods of extraction of the basic material and the rationale behind each method
- understand the use of the various pharmacopoeial preparations and the process leading to their production
- have adequate practical skills to enable the student to produce various pharmacopoeial preparations of acceptable quality
