Pharmaceutics is one of the most diverse subject areas in all of pharmaceutical science. In brief, it is concerned with the scientific and technological aspects of the design and manufacture of dosage forms or medicines. An understanding of pharmaceutics is therefore vital for all pharmacists and those pharmaceutical scientists who are involved with converting a drug or a potential drug into a medicine that can be delivered safely, effectively and conveniently to the patient. Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling textbook in pharmaceutics has been brought completely up to date to reflect the rapid advances in delivery methodologies by eye and injection, advances in drug formulations and delivery methods for special groups (such as children and the elderly), nanomedicine, and pharmacognosy. At the same time the editors have striven to maintain the accessibility of the text for students of pharmacy, preserving the balance between being a suitably pitched introductory text and a clear reflection of the state of the art. provides a logical, comprehensive account of drug design and manufacture includes the science of formulation and drug delivery designed and written for newcomers to the design of dosage forms New to this edition New editor: Kevin Taylor, Professor of Clinical Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, University of London. Twenty-two new contributors. Six new chapters covering parenteral and ocular delivery; design and administration of medicines for the children and elderly; the latest in plant medicines; nanotechnology and nanomedicines, and the delivery of biopharmaceuticals. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout.

The book itself has helped me throughout the course of my degree. It it a bit long-winded and sometimes difficult to understand, but maybe it is because i dislike pharmaceutics! The product did take a long time for it to arrive. I ordered it a month or two before my exams, and i had no idea that it was coming from India (do not know what seller i purchased it from, pretty sure it said UK). It decided to be delivered on the day of my exams after i had sat the exam! Since then, i have used it for other modules, and as i said, it has helped a lot! I do recommend this book!

I have a BSc Chemistry MSc Medicinal Chemistry and now I study B.Pharm Pharmacy . I bought this book for my class in Pharmaceutical Technology and with a strong background in Physical Chemistry I found this book very good for the transition from Physical Chemistry to Physical Pharmacy.It is ideal both for study and reference.I think this , Foyes Medicinal Chemistry and Principles of Pharmacology Golan, Klein Organic Chemistry and Stryer Biochemistry best books I came across
