All aspects of pharmaceutics are covered in a clear and readily accessible way and extensively illustrated throughout, providing an essential companion to the entire pharmaceutics curriculum from day one until the end of the course.
The philosophy of this sixth edition is unchanged from earlier editions; the book comprehensively covers all aspects of pharmaceutics and is intentionally structured and written for newcomers to the formulation and manufacture of medicines, particularly pharmacy undergraduates. The content has been extensively revised and updated, and many new subjects introduced, because pharmaceutics continually changes, particularly in the ways that drug products are designed, manufactured and delivered to patients. New chapters for this edition include topical formulations, otic (aural) drug delivery, radiopharmaceuticals, continuous manufacturing processes and pharmaceutical regulation. The new edition is the first to be published in full colour: so prepare to be dazzled!
