Biopharmaceutical technology involves producing medicines and drugs using biotechnology. It refers specifically to biological macromolecules or cellular components used as pharmaceuticals. Some key aspects of biopharmaceutical technology include drug formulation, the mode of action of drugs, drug discovery, drugs derived from plants or natural sources, and identification and analysis of substances. Factors like pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacovigilance must also be considered. Courses related to pharmaceutical technology include drug discovery and development, good manufacturing practices, quality assurance and control, and pharmacovigilance. The pharmaceutical industry has grown significantly in India, with the top companies being Sun Pharmaceutical, Lupin, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories

3. Different Forms
• Pharmaceutics – Drug formulation
• Pharmacology – Mode of action of drugs

4. Different Forms
• Pharmaceutical Chemistry – Drug Discovery
• Pharmacognosy – Drugs from plants or other
natural sources.

5. Different Forms
• Pharmaceutical Analysis – Identification,
determination, quantification and purification
of a substance, separation of the components
of a solution or mixture, or determination of
structure of chemical compounds.

6. Things to be consider…..
• Pharmacokinetics (PK)
– the branch of pharmacology concerned with the
movement of drugs within the body.
– To determine the fate of substances administered
to a living organism.

7. Things to be consider…..
• Pharmacodynamics (PD)
– the branch of pharmacology concerned with the
study of biochemical and physiologic effects of
drugs.
– Mechanism of action.

8. Things to be consider…..
• Pharmacovigilance (Drug Safety)
– the practice of monitoring the effects of medical
drugs after they have been licensed for use,
especially in order to identify and evaluate
previously unreported adverse reactions.
