Abstract

Quality control of medicines is carried out throughout the entire life cycle of a medicine. The physical and chemical tests defined in the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) enable the identity, purity, content, and control of critical impurities of active ingredients and pharmaceutical forms to be verified. However, current teaching of these techniques is often limited to theoretical courses or practical laboratory work with limited resources. Educational simulation offers a modern alternative, allowing students to realistically reproduce physicochemical tests, analyze and interpret the results in accordance with European pharmacopoeia standards in an interactive and reproducible environment. This study presents a model for integrating simulation into the teaching of physicochemical testing applied to drug control, detailing the methodology, observed results, educational benefits, and prospects for improving training.
