Completely
revised and expanded throughout, the fourth edition of Modern Pharmaceutics is
an authoritative reference, presenting a comprehensive integrated and sequenced
approach to drug dosage formulation, design, and evaluation. It identifies the
pharmacodynamic and physicochemical factors influencing drug action through
various routes of administration. This text and reference provides an integrated
but sequenced approach to drug dosage formulation, design, and evaluation. It
identifies the pharmacodynamic and physiological factors influencing drug action
through various routes of administration. The 28 chapters concentrate on topics
like: drug adsorption, pharmacokinetics, drug availability, route of
administration and distribution, drug stability, preformulation, cutaneous and
transdermal delivery, disperse systems, table dosage forms, capsules, parental
products, sustained and controlled release delivery systems, target-oriented
systems, optimization techniques, legal concerns, pediatric and geriatric
aspects, biotechnology, dietary supplements, bio-equivalency, managed care, and
future prospects. Contributors represent academic, health care, and industry
perspectives.
