With over 100 illustrations, Volume 1 addresses the core disciplines of pharmaceutics (absorption, PK, excipients, tablet dosage forms, and packaging), and explores the challenges and paradigms of pharmaceutics. Key topics in Volume 1 include: • principles of drug absorption, chemical kinetics, and drug stability • pharmacokinetics • the effect of route of administration and distribution on drug action • in vivo imaging of dose forms: gamma scintigraphy, PET imaging NMR, MRI, etc. • powder technology • excipient design and characterization • preformulation • optimization techniques in pharmaceutical formulation and processing • disperse and surfactant systems • the solid state, tablet dosage forms, coating processes, and hard and soft shell capsules • parenteral products

Dosage Form Design Parameters, Volume II, examines the history and current state of the field within the pharmaceutical sciences, presenting key developments. Content includes drug development issues, the scale up of formulations, regulatory issues, intellectual property, solid state properties and polymorphism. Written by experts in the field, this volume in the Advances in Pharmaceutical Product Development and Research series deepens our understanding of dosage form design parameters. Chapters delve into a particular aspect of this fundamental field, covering principles, methodologies and the technologies employed by pharmaceutical scientists. In addition, the book contains a comprehensive examination suitable for researchers and advanced students working in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology and related industries. Examines the history and recent developments in drug dosage forms for pharmaceutical sciences Focuses on physicochemical aspects, prefomulation solid state properties and polymorphism Contains extensive references for further discovery and learning that are appropriate for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and those interested in drug dosage design

From a review of the previous edition: ‘For all the pharmacy students out there part of your pharmacy degree will be to study formulation design and pharmaceutics. This is the holy grail of pharmaceutical technology books. The text reads well and introduces difficult concepts in a more easy-to-understand way, it is definitely worth the money to help you get through the module, if you’re doing a research project in pharmaceutical design then this would also be an excellent buy...This is essential for passing exams and developing professional competence.’ This is the best known text on pharmaceutics. Its strength lies mainly in being a complete course in one book. Reviewers consistently praise its comprehensiveness and its extremely high quality-quality content. Pharmaceutics is one of the most diverse subject areas in pharmaceutical science and an understanding of it is vital for all pharmacists and scientists involved in converting drugs to medicines that can be safely delivered to a patient. The editorial and author team deliver a tour de force of accessibility, coverage and currency in this new edition of a world-class textbook. Relevant chemistry covered throughout Reflects current and future use of biotechnology products throughout Covers ongoing changes in our understanding of biopharmaceutics, certain areas of drug delivery and the significance of the solid state Includes the science of formulation and drug delivery Designed and written for newcomers to the design of dosage forms Key points boxes throughout Summaries at the end of each chapter Fully updated throughout, with particular focus on delivery of biopharmaceuticals, nanotechnology and nanomedicines, parenteral and ocular drug delivery mechanisms. Now comes with online access on StudentConsult.

Dosage Forms, Formulation Developments and Regulations, Volume One in the Recent and Future Trends in Pharmaceutics series, explores aspects of pharmaceutics, with an original approach focused on technology, novelties and future trends in the field. The book discusses the most recent developments in pharmaceutical preformulation and formulation studies, biopharmaceutics and novel pharmaceutical formulations, regulatory affairs, and good manufacturing practices. Exciting areas such as formulation strategies, optimization techniques, the biopharmaceutical classification system, and pharmaceutical aerosols are included. The field of pharmaceutics is highly dynamic and rapidly expanding day-by-day, so it demands a variety of amplified efforts for designing and developing pharmaceutical processes and formulation strategies. This is an essential reference for researchers in academia and industry as well as advanced graduate students in pharmaceutics. Examines trends and recent technologies in dosage, formulation and regulation Contains contributions from leading experts in academia, research, industry and regulatory agencies Includes high-quality illustrations, flow charts and tables for easy understanding of concepts Discusses practical examples and research case studies
