Aulton's Pharmaceutics: The Design and Manufacture of Medicines, 5e

Product Information

The philosophy of this sixth edition is unchanged from earlier editions; the book comprehensively covers all aspects of pharmaceutics and is intentionally structured and written for newcomers to the formulation and manufacture of medicines, particularly pharmacy undergraduates. The content has been extensively revised and updated, and many new subjects introduced, because pharmaceutics continually changes, particularly in the ways that drug products are designed, manufactured and delivered to patients. New chapters for this edition include topical formulations, otic (aural) drug delivery, radiopharmaceuticals, continuous manufacturing processes and pharmaceutical regulation. The new edition is the first to be published in full colour: so prepare to be dazzled! 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. Pharmaceutics is one of the most diverse subject areas in all of pharmaceutical science. In brief, it is concerned with the scientific and technological aspects of the design and manufacture of dosage forms or medicines. An understanding of pharmaceutics is therefore vital for all pharmacists and those pharmaceutical scientists who are involved with converting a drug or a potential drug into a medicine that can be delivered safely, effectively and conveniently to the patient. 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.’
