Authors : Alexander T. Florence, David Attwood
Edition : 6
Year : 2015
Description :

Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy is an established textbook that provides you with full coverage of the physicochemical principles essential to the modern pharmacist and pharmaceutical scientist.

This 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.
