I definitely want to study pharmacy, but I don't know which one has a broader employment prospect, pharmacy or pharmaceutical preparations.
First of all, I will tell you the employment prospects of two majors and the key points of all professional courses for you to choose:

pharmaceutical preparation

Pharmaceutical preparation majors train senior scientific and technological talents with basic theoretical knowledge and basic experimental skills in pharmacy, pharmacy and pharmaceutical preparation engineering, who can engage in research, development, process design, production technology improvement and quality control in pharmaceutical preparations and related fields.

development status

Development of new preparation varieties

In addition to tablets, capsules and other commonly used dosage forms, it is an important aspect to develop new preparations from various dosage forms, new ways and new methods to improve drug efficacy, reduce side effects and improve patient compliance. For example, estradiol, progesterone and megestrol acetate are developed into soft capsules, salbutamol sulfate and other drugs are developed into nasal administration preparations and atomized inhalers, and acyclovir and cyclosporine are made into slow-release preparations and microemulsion preparations respectively.

Preparations for children and the elderly, such as drops and suppositories, and preparations for otorhinolaryngology, such as dental floss, nanoparticles, gum, eye glue, instant and quick-acting preparations, are all preparations with therapeutic or technical characteristics. In addition to dispersible tablets, there are many dosage forms that can achieve immediate results. Such as soft capsules and drops containing water-soluble drugs, soluble inclusion compound preparations, solid dispersion preparations, soluble tablets and the like.

The research of compound preparation is also an important direction of foreign preparation industry. A large number of OTC drugs are compound preparations. Compared with the development of common preparations, there are few compound preparations in China, and the development of compound preparations should have sufficient clinical medication basis and pharmacodynamic basis, and the development of compound preparations for treating critical diseases should be fully investigated. The development principle is to have synergy and reduce side effects.

Development of oral sustained and controlled release preparations

There are more and more sustained and controlled release preparations, and the requirements for their technology and quality are getting higher and higher. Foreign countries put forward higher requirements for the development of this kind of preparations, that is, from only requiring stable blood concentration to improving the curative effect of patients in disease state. There are three key problems to be solved in developing this kind of products: ① Can the preparation improve the therapeutic value? That is, can the preparation have the release speed, release time, location or target required for treatment? ② How does this preparation meet the above requirements? That is, are the above drug release characteristics optimized? Is the correlation between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics obtained through pharmacodynamic and pharmacological experiments, especially in disease state? ③ Is the dosage form and process selected for this preparation the most suitable for the above characteristics? Whether it includes comprehensive consideration of economy, convenience of medication and formulation of dosage plan. According to this standard, only a few sustained and controlled release preparations meet the requirements.

However, according to the current development, the varieties of slow and controlled release have greatly increased. Many drugs with strong effects, drugs with short or long half-lives, antibiotics and addictive drugs are made into sustained-release preparations to adapt to special medical applications. It is an important trend in the future to develop sustained-release and controlled-release varieties, compound sustained-release and controlled-release preparations and liquid sustained-release and controlled-release preparations with daily administration 1 time.

Injection form

1, microspheres for injection The main purpose of developing microspheres for injection is to achieve sustained release and long-term effect. 1986 ipsen, France, intramuscular injection of triptorelin-polylactic acid-glycolide microspheres; Since then, leuprorelin acetate, Duanlin from Bscher and Mitraline intramuscular injection microspheres have come out one after another. Other microsphere preparations under study include subcutaneous injection of growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) nanoparticles, carboxyl camptothecin n-butyl cyanoacrylate nanoparticles, testosterone microspheres and so on.

2. Liposomes for intravenous injection. Liposomes of various anticancer drugs have been studied, including adriamycin, amphotericin and daunorubicin. The production of extrusion freeze-drying equipment and the inclusion of blank liposomes are important technical improvements to develop liposomes. It is reported that various cytokines, such as IFN-γ, IL- 1 and TNF-α, are embedded in liposomes. Intravenous injection can achieve sustained release effect, change the distribution characteristics in vivo, make it easier to enter cells, improve receptor sensitivity and enhance cytotoxicity. It is worth mentioning that liposomes are used as vectors for gene therapy. Liposomes can carry various gene fragments, protect genes from being degraded by nucleases, fuse lipids with cell membranes, and introduce target genes into cells. Liposome-mediated gene transfer has been approved by American Cancer Society as the first choice for clinical gene therapy.

3. One of the main goals of WHO's vaccine development plan is to vaccinate controlled-release vaccine preparations at one time, achieve complete immunization, improve vaccination types and reduce vaccination costs. At present, the controlled release preparations of vaccines are mainly microspheres or other microparticle preparations. Through material selection and embedding degree. The release rate of vaccine can be controlled, such as rapid release, constant release and pulse release. The vaccines studied include toxoid vaccine, virus vaccine, nucleic acid vaccine and synthetic vaccine.

4. In recent years, the mature emulsion production technology and emulsion auxiliary materials have created conditions for the development and production of drug-containing fat emulsion. Such as etomidate, propofol, dexamethasone palmitate fat emulsion, flurbiprofen axetil ethoxyα-ethyl ester fat emulsion, prostaglandin E 1 fat emulsion, etc.

Nasal and pulmonary inhalation drug delivery system

The dosage forms studied include solutions and powders or microspheres; Generally, it is administered by spray and penetrates into the nasal cavity; Powder or microsphere has long retention time, good absorption, high drug content and small taking volume, which is beneficial to the stability of drugs; The use of absorption enhancers and enzyme inhibitors can improve the nasal absorption of drugs and prolong the retention time. FluMist is a kind of influenza vaccine administered by nasal cavity, which is composed of live vaccine. Flumist has stronger effect and longer protection than inactivated virus products. Three phases have been studied in the United States, and other varieties studied include vitamin B 12, nerve growth factor, salbutamol and so on.

Generally speaking, the first choice for lung inhalation system is small dose powder aerosol system. Dry powder inhalation avoids the degradation of drugs in solution, and micronization technology ensures that drugs will not stay in trachea or bronchus and enter lung tissue smoothly. Insulin inhalation therapy is a hot spot developed by many pharmaceutical companies. The second phase clinical trial of insulin lung inhalant jointly developed by inhalation therapy company and Pfizer has been completed. The results showed that inhalation of this product combined with oral metformin or sulfonylurea drugs can improve the blood sugar control of patients with type II diabetes.

Oral polypeptide and protein drug delivery system

1. The enteric-coated acrylic resin coating on insulin capsules or pellets can reduce the damage of gastric acid and some enzymes, realize local release, and release drugs at pH7.5-8.0.

2. Microspheres and nanospheres The preparation of insulin into microspheres of biodegradable or non-degradable materials less than 2μ m can not only reduce the destruction of drugs, but also slowly release drugs through the gap or Payer's junction formed after the cells at the tip of jejunum villi fall off, reducing the accumulation of blood sugar and glycogen. Poly (isobutyl nitrile acrylic acid) microspheres with the size of 250-300nm can penetrate intestinal mucosa, including intercellular pathways and Payer's connected M cells within 30-60min.

3. Microemulsions, Multiple Emulsions and Liposomes A W/O insulin microemulsion of 65438 0.5 IU/kg was given to the duodenum of dogs, and the plasma concentrations of insulin in superior vena cava and inferior vena cava were determined. The results showed that the main route of oral absorption of microemulsion was lymphatic route. Oral insulin emulsion has a definite hypoglycemic effect on diabetic model mice. Liposomes, as carriers of oral protein and polypeptide drugs, are still under study, including insulin, glucose oxidase, coagulation factor V Ⅲ and various cytokines. It is reported that diabetic rats have significant hypoglycemic effect after oral administration of insulin liposomes.

4. Oral mucosa is used to absorb insulin and interferon, which quickly enters the mandibular vein of oral mucosa instead of blood circulation, avoiding liver metabolism. It is considered that the absorption degree of this mucosal absorption preparation has a great relationship with the preparation factors.

5. The application of penetration enhancers and enzyme inhibitors such as surfactants, fatty acids or bile salts can increase the permeability of mucus layer and epithelial cell layer and expand the intercellular space. The most commonly used oral absorption enhancers are bile salts and fatty acids. A promising penetration enhancer is protein toxin (ZOT) produced by a special bacterium, which is only effective on the receptors of small intestine and duodenum, but not on rectum and colon. Therefore, its intracellular channel function is safe, reversible, time-and dose-dependent, and limited to some parts. Protease inhibitors can inhibit the damage of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes to insulin. Commonly used enzyme inhibitors include sodium glycocholate, aprotinin, bacitracin, soybean trypsin inhibitor and so on.

Development trend of 2 1 century pharmaceutical preparations

1. The challenge of pharmaceutical chemistry to pharmacy. With the development of structure-activity relationship, combinatorial chemistry, biology and cell biology, the design of chemical drugs is more reasonable, the purpose is clearer and the success rate is higher. In the past, a large number of problems that needed to be solved by pharmacists, such as absorption, solubility and targeting, were all completed in the drug molding stage.

2. Programmatic and standardized formula and process design. With the standardization of excipients and computerization of pharmaceutical equipment, the formula and technology are controlled by artificial intelligence system, and most dosage forms and preparations are programmed, so that computer operators can solve problems that need to be solved by pharmacists.

3. Theory and technology of drug delivery system design: design of new oral sustained-release system, target discovery and location of targeted drug delivery system, design and methodology research of non-invasive other drug delivery systems.

4. The challenge of the rapid development of biotechnology to pharmacy: With the rapid increase of biological macromolecules, the demand for non-injection dosage forms is also increasing, especially the research on safe and noninvasive oral dosage forms and transdermal dosage forms is an important development direction.

5. Gene therapy vector system Gene therapy uses gene transfer technology to introduce foreign recombinant genes or nucleic acids into human target cells to correct gene defects or abnormal expression. Inactivated virus, liposome and other particles are common vector systems, and the design of this delivery system is an important link to realize effective gene transfer and smooth development.

6. Biochip has become an important part of pharmaceutical preparations. Biochip is a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of biomedicine. The standardization, accuracy and practicality of biochip have become a reality, and will be widely used in life science, medical research, environmental protection and agriculture. The appearance of biochip will accelerate the development of gene therapy and greatly improve the decoding speed of human genes. The perfect combination of biochip, computer chip and micro-transmission system will realize the integration of biosensor, information control and feedback and drug delivery.

7. Modernization of traditional Chinese medicine dosage forms The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine dosage forms depends on the organic combination of internal and external material basis, efficacy basis and traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Employment prospect of pharmacy specialty

There is a growing demand for pharmaceutical talents in society, and the employment rate of college students in this major is as high as 95%. With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, especially after the improvement of living standards, people's demand for health care products is increasing, and enterprises prefer pharmaceutical talents. Another piece is biochemical drugs, which is a new frontier industry with good development prospects.

Pharmaceutical graduates are mainly assigned to pharmaceutical factories and pharmaceutical research institutes to engage in various drug development, research, production quality assurance and rational drug use, and many of them are engaged in drug sales agents.

Analysis of Unique Career Consultants: Pharmacy is one of the fastest growing categories in the world's major economic fields, and the annual economic growth rate of pharmaceutical enterprises has been higher than the national economic growth rate. And because it is related to everyone's health, it has been paid more and more attention by the state and society. The pharmaceutical industry in China has also developed very rapidly in recent years. Many drugs have been recognized by the international market and established cooperative relations with foreign enterprises. However, the shortage of professional talents shows that pharmacy has broad prospects for development. Professions engaged in drug development and research have very high requirements for professional ability, and correspondingly higher requirements for academic qualifications. Engaged in production quality assurance, the requirements for academic qualifications are not so high, but the requirements for relevant professional knowledge are still very strict. In contrast, the professional requirements of sales work are lower, and sales ability is more important.

Looking for a job depends not only on your major, but also on your own different situation. You should consider your own ability, specialty, personality and popularity. Don't take the pharmaceutical R&D industry as the object of employment just because of the high salary, measure whether your various abilities meet the requirements, and then make a preliminary understanding of the specific work of this profession to see if your personality is suitable.
