Abstract

This comprehensive textbook presents the fundamental principles and practical applications of industrial pharmacy, with emphasis on pharmaceutical manufacturing, dosage-form development, processing techniques, product evaluation, packaging, and regulatory requirements. It covers pharmaceutical processing operations such as mixing, milling, drying, filtration, evaporation, and dissolution, as well as preformulation studies, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmaceutical statistics. The book discusses the formulation and manufacture of tablets, capsules, liquid preparations, semisolids, suppositories, aerosols, sterile products, and novel drug-delivery systems. Additional topics include pilot-plant scale-up, production management, packaging materials, stability testing, quality control, quality assurance, and drug regulatory affairs. By combining theoretical concepts with practical pharmaceutical applications, the text serves as a valuable reference for pharmacy students, pharmaceutical scientists, researchers, and professionals involved in drug formulation, manufacturing, and quality management.
