Modern pharmaceutics/

Abstract

This textbook provides an integrated examination of the scientific principles and practical applications of pharmaceutics, with emphasis on the formulation, design, evaluation and delivery of pharmaceutical dosage forms. It covers drug absorption, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, drug distribution, chemical kinetics and drug stability, as well as preformulation studies and the physicochemical properties influencing drug performance. The book explores the formulation and evaluation of tablets, capsules, parenteral preparations, ophthalmic products, pharmaceutical aerosols, disperse systems and topical and transdermal drug delivery systems. It also examines sustained and controlled-release formulations, bioequivalence, pharmaceutical quality, drug safety and the factors affecting therapeutic efficacy. By integrating pharmaceutical sciences with formulation development and drug delivery technologies, the text serves as a valuable reference for pharmacy students, pharmaceutical scientists, formulation researchers and professionals involved in the development, manufacture and quality assessment of medicines.
