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
