Since the first edition was published, pharmacists have used this book as a comprehensive one-stop reference.

Remington: The Science & Practice of Pharmacy is the most widely used textbook and reference work on pharmaceutical sciences in the nation. Publication of the text was begun as Practice of Pharmacy in 1886 by Joseph Price Remington, professor and later dean at the University. Subsequent to his death, the copyright to this text was assigned to the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (now Saint Joseph's University) by the heirs of Professor Remington.

Remington has provided a comprehensive source of knowledge about the science and practice of pharmacy. The book provides information to help both students and practitioners serve effectively as members of the health professions team. The 22nd edition was published in 2012.

This special bicentennial edition, edited by Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Adeboye Adejare Ph.D., celebrates 200 years since the founding of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1821. The founding of the college is regarded as the beginning of pharmacy education and modern pharmacy practice. The text also addresses modern challenges including COVID-19, substance use disorders and medical cannabis.

The 22nd edition of Remington offers a unique array of content in two volumes, covering pharmaceutical science and pharmaceutical practice. Its value is immense for students and practitioners in all areas of the discipline.
