Pharmaceutical dosage forms

This third edition covers tablets, one of the most common pharmaceutical dosage forms, from first design through formulation, production and assessment. It is the second volume in the set, and it concentrates on deliberately planning a tablet and building its formulation.

The authors start from a simple premise: a drug product should be developed so that the active ingredient delivers its full therapeutic benefit and can reach the patients who need it. Throughout, the text pairs its technical discussion with practical illustrations and worked formulation examples.
