Modern Pharmaceutics: Basic principles and systems

With over 100 illustrations, Volume 1 addresses the core disciplines of pharmaceutics (absorption, PK, excipients, tablet dosage forms, and packaging), and explores the challenges and paradigms of pharmaceutics.

Key topics in Volume 1 include:

* principles of drug absorption, chemical kinetics, and drug stability
* pharmacokinetics
* the effect of route of administration and distribution on drug action
* in vivo imaging of dose forms: gamma scintigraphy, PET imaging NMR, MRI, etc.
* powder technology
* excipient design and characterization
* preformulation
* optimization techniques in pharmaceutical formulation and processing
* disperse and surfactant systems
* the solid state, tablet dosage forms, coating processes, and hard and soft shell capsules
* parenteral products
