This text is the most comprehensive resource on the application of physical chemical principles in the various branches of pharmacy. It helps students, teachers, researchers, and manufacturing pharmacists use the elements of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in their work and study. This edition thoroughly examines basic physical pharmacy principles, equilibria phenomena, kinetic phenomena, dispersed systems, and drug delivery, and relates the pharmaceutical sciences to biological phenomena. New chapters cover biopharmaceutics and bioavailability; molecular and cellular biopharmaceutics; transporters and metabolizing enzymes; molding and compaction; and drug delivery systems. Significantly updated and revised review questions for each chapter are available in the book and on connection.LWW.com.

This Fourth Edition provides an introduction to the physiochemical and mathematical principles underlying the practice of pharmacy. Greater emphasis on new dosage forms and controlled delivery systems, more than a 100% increase in the number of problems, and over a 40% increase in the number of worked examples are some of the many new features.

A core subject in pharmaceutics, physical pharmacy is taught in the initial semesters of B. Pharm. The methodical knowledge of the subject is required, and is essential, to understand the principles pertaining to design and development of drug and drug products. Theory and Practice of Physical Pharmacy is unique as it fulfils the twin requirements of physical pharmacy students: the authentic text on theoretical concepts and its application including illustrative exercises in the form of practicals. Covers all the topics included in various existing syllabi of physical pharmacy Provides an integrated understanding of theory and practical applications associated with physicochemical concepts Explore the latest developments in the field of pharmaceutics Reviews the relevance of physicochemical principles in the design of dosage form Ensures proper recapitulation through sufficient end-of-chapter questions Provides valuable learning tool in the form of multiple choice questions Multiple choice questions section especially useful for GPAT aspirants

Physical pharmacy is an interdisciplinary field with characteristics of both physics and chemistry such as thermodynamics, colloidal, emulsion and rheological properties, chemical equilibrium and adsorption properties combined together for development in the field of pharmaceutics. The study of pharmaceutics provides the scientific foundation for the design and appropriate use of dosage forms and drug delivery systems. It prepares students for research in the development and testing of drug products, including investigating interactions of drugs with complex biological systems and the physical and chemical formulation of drugs for delivery. Physical Pharmaceutics presents a comprehensive coverage on clinical studies on the design and manufacture of new drugs, with a focus on safety and efficacy in humans. Covered topics include pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, and pharmaceutical formulation. It brings most recent research in all identified fields of Clinical Pharmaceutics mainly focusing upon the clinical outcomes in different clinical trial phases and the basic pharmaceutics. It covers the latest advancements in drug discovery, new clinical case studies of pharmaceutics in clinical trials, development of new personalized and improved therapies such as promising Nano based Pharmaceutics.Providing experimental and theoretical details in the subject, this book will assist practicing students and researchers as well as a good quality collection for librarians.

This book is for understanding the different physical and physicochemical features of the substances (drugs and excipients), which enables the pharmacist to pick the appropriate sort of substance for the creation of the dosage form. These also make it possible to construct the appropriate sort of environment that is required for the manufacturing and preservation of the medication. It is crucial to understand the chemical and physical principles, as well as their influence on biological activity. The study of chemistry and physics as they are applied to the field of pharmacy is the focus of the field of pharmacy known as "physical pharmacy." To put it another way, it is the study of the impact that various delivery systems have on their surroundings by addressing concerns at the molecular level. This book will be of great aid to both researchers and industry experts in getting a grasp of the principles of physical pharmaceutics. Both groups will find the book to be of great benefit. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental concepts while doing so in a style that is simple to understand. It focuses on the fundamental characteristics of medicinal substances, including their iv solubility, surface, stability, or interfacial phenomena, as well as their rheology, micromeritics, and complexation. To successfully synthesize medicinal compounds into acceptable dosage forms, it is vital to have a solid understanding of these qualities.
