Pharmacy Laboratory Block

The Riphah Pharmacy Laboratory Block provides structured, practice-oriented sessions that integrate pharmaceutical sciences with applied skills. Students engage in pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and medicinal chemistry practicals under faculty supervision and standardized SOPs. Emphasis is placed on safety, precision in pharmaceutical calculations, and Good Laboratory Practices to ensure accuracy and reliability. Scheduled practicals cover dosage form preparation, compounding, dissolution and disintegration testing, crude drug microscopy, and basic quality control methods. Guided sessions introduce prescription handling, dispensing workflows, and simulated patient counseling to reinforce ethics, communication, and error prevention. The lab environment encourages inquiry, teamwork, and reflective practice through mini-projects and problem-solving tasks. By combining structured training with supervised practice, the block equips graduates with professional skills for internships, industry roles, and entry-level practice in pharmacy and health sciences.
