Overview
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

Features:
NEW CHALLENGES AND PARADIGMS IN PHARMACEUTICS - Explores fundamental research in physical phenomena related to dose-form design at a time when much research is biological in nature
COVERS NEW TECHNIQUES FOR IN VIVO IMAGING DOSE FORMS - Apart from Gamma scintigraphy, until recently there have been few means of following real time behavior of formulations in vivo
DETAILED EXPLANATION OF CHEMICAL KINETICS AND DRUG STABILITY - Includes many drug structural diagrams to illustrate points covered in the text
HOW BEST TO CARRY OUT PREFORMULATION - Discusses procedures for examining drugs and their physical chemistry prior to designing the appropriate formulations
THE LATEST IN POWDER TECHNOLOGY - Explains the intelligent use of powders in pharmaceutics
