Basic Physical Pharmacy

Basic Physical Pharmacy provides a thorough yet accessible overview of the principles of physical pharmacy and their application in drug formulation and administration. This definitive guide to physical pharmacy covers all types of pharmaceuticals, from traditional forms and dosages to nanotechnology-based novel dosage design. Authored by two nationally recognized pharmaceutical scientists and active pharmacy faculty, Basic Physical Pharmacy is clearly organized into four sections: Physical Pharmacy in Solutions Solid Dosage Forms Polyphasic Systems and Drug Delivery and Novel Drug Delivery Systems. Students can build upon their chemistry education to learn the physicochemical properties of drugs and their therapeutic effects on the body. With a highly accessible approach, Basic Physical Pharmacy will help students comprehend and apply the principles of physical pharmacy in clinical practice.
