DESCRIPTION:
Remington Education: Pharmaceutics provides comprehensive yet concise coverage of all aspects of pharmaceutics. The first part of the book covers physico-chemical principles and highlights the importance of designing dosage forms that contain the appropriate dose, are stable, palatable, easily used by the patient and release drugs in a predictable fashion for absorption. The second part applies these formulation principles to the design of dosage forms used by each route of administration.
Each chapter advises on both the science of the delivery mechanism and appropriate use of that delivery system including patient counselling points. Each chapter features:
- Learning objectives
- Key points boxes
- Drug examples
- Illustrations
- Assessment questions
- Further reading and references

REVIEWS:
Doody's Reviews, November 2014
"Many chapters include patient counselling tips, which should be helpful for students. Providing examples of marketed products based on the delivery technology discussed in the chapter makes the concept interesting and relevant...
...The fundamental theoretical and practical aspects of various drug delivery systems that this book presents will help students develop a solid understanding of the subject."
