Aulton's Pharmaceutics - Electronic, 5th Edition, serves as a complete course in pharmaceutics in one volume. The textbook explains how to convert drug substances into medicines that can be safely delivered to patients.
The text introduces the scientific principles of dosage form design, including dissolution, disperse systems, rheology, and kinetics. It also examines particle science, powder technology, pharmaceutical microbiology, and biopharmaceutical concepts influencing drug absorption and bioavailability.
Written for newcomers to dosage form design, this volume supports students of pharmacy, pharmaceutical science, pharmacology, and biomedicine, as well as industry practitioners. Key points boxes throughout the text highlight core concepts for study.
