Industrial pharmacy and physical pharmacy are two important branches of pharmacy that focus on the application of scientific principles and techniques in the development, manufacturing, and quality control of pharmaceutical products. Industrial pharmacy primarily deals with the large-scale production and distribution of pharmaceutical products. It involves the development and optimization of manufacturing processes, formulation of dosage forms, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Industrial pharmacists work in pharmaceutical companies and play a crucial role in translating drug discovery and development into commercial products that meet the needs of patients. They are involved in activities such as process optimization, scale-up, quality assurance, and supply chain management to ensure the safe and efficient production of pharmaceuticals.
