Book description
A comprehensive textbook covering the design of dosage forms and all aspects of DDS. Pharmaceutics in its broadest sense is the art of the apothecary or, in simple terms, pharmaceutical preparations. It remains a diverse subject in the pharmacy curriculum, encompassing design of medicinal compounds, their manufacture and the elimination of micro-organisms from the products. This books encompasses all of those areas and pays particular attention to the design of dosage forms and their manufacture.
