"A standard text on physical pharmacy for students around the world...The sixth edition features new chapters or sections on paediatric and geriatric formulations, adverse events, generic medicines and biosimilars, and solid dose form manufacture...All chapters are well illustrated and tables are clearly set out. Key points and clinical points are highlighted and readers are able to work through calculations and refer to the answers which can be found close by...It fulfils an important requirement of describing the principles of physical pharmacy by using pharmaceutical examples to illustrate the topics." Laurence A. Goldberg, The Pharmaceutical Journal, January 2016. -- Laurence A. Goldberg * The Pharmaceutical Journal * "Anyone interested in understanding the fundamental physicochemical principles and their application in formulation development should find this an excellent resource...This sixth edition has maintained its superior quality both in content and in presentation. It has been recognized as an excellent resource by pharmacy educators and students and by pharmaceutical scientists. I have been using this book for the last 10 years and I have found it to be invaluable." Rahmat M. Talukder, PhD, RPh, Doody's Notes, March 2016. -- Rahmat M Talukder * Doody's Notes * "The text is highly illustrated throughout and includes key points and appropriate examples, providing clinicians with some easily accessible and relevant information.
Some examples of adverse events due to excipients, impurities, the influence of dosage forms, materials in delivery devices and even light-induced effects are also included. Although the detection of adverse events is not an easy task, these examples may assist clinicians in asking the right questions to predict or identify adverse effects.
The new focus on applications to clinical practice in this edition has extended its usefulness from pharmacy and pharmaceutical scientist courses to clinicians seeking an understanding of formulations, especially for children and older people, and in identifying the cause of adverse events."
