Mahato N2 - "Pharmaceutics: Basic Principles and Application to Pharmacy Practice" covers the basic science, as well as the role and application of pharmaceutics within pharmacy practice. The content is divided into three parts and includes first, the theory and practical applications of physical chemistry to the pharmaceutical sciences. The second part describes practical aspects of pharmaceutics and applications in dosage from design, evaluation, and selection. The third part is devoted to biopharmaceutics, which addresses the biological aspects and clinical importance of pharmaceutics principles. In accordance with curricular guidelines, this book incorporates practical examples and laboratory skills to identify how portions of each principle can be used in a clinical setting. It has been written in a clear and engaging manner in order to provide the single best source for all those seeking integrated and clinically relevant coverage of pharmaceutics. -- From publisher's description ER -
