Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy In Manufacture, Formulation and Clinical Use
Produktdetaljer
<p>"The text is highly illustrated throughout and includes key points and appropriate examples, providing clinicians with some easily accessible and relevant information. <br /> Some examples of adverse events due to excipients, impurities, the influence of dosage forms, materials in delivery devices and even light-induced effects are also included. Although the detection of adverse events is not an easy task, these examples may assist clinicians in asking the right questions to predict or identify adverse effects. <br /> The new focus on applications to clinical practice in this edition has extended its usefulness from pharmacy and pharmaceutical scientist courses to clinicians seeking an understanding of formulations, especially for children and older people, and in identifying the cause of adverse events."<br /><br />Beverley Glass, Australian Prescriber October 2016</p>

This is an established textbook that provides you with full coverage of the physicochemical principles essential to the modern pharmacist and pharmaceutical scientist.
The sixth edition continues to boast a broad chemical and physicochemical base and covers every aspect of drug properties from the design of dosage forms to their delivery by all routes to sites of action in the body. Now with more clinical examples, new questions and extra case studies it encourages you to apply this knowledge and understand how these fundamental concepts relate to both clinical and industrial practice. It features brand new chapters/sections on:
- Paediatric and geriatric formulations
- Adverse events: the role of formulations and delivery systems
- Generic medicines and biosimilars
- Solid dose form manufacture
Written by experienced academics and highly illustrated throughout, Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy is an approachable and comprehensive resource that is perfect for supporting you through the physical pharmacy and drug delivery elements of pharmacy and pharmaceutical science courses.
