SummaryTable of Contents
Essentials of Pharmaceutical Preformulation: A study guide for students and researchers in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences describes basic principles of pharmaceutical preformulation for undergraduate level pharmacy students and newly employed workers in the pharmaceutical field who do not have a pharmaceutical background. Successful preformulation requires knowledge of a number of concepts (solubility, partition coefficient, acid dissociation), familiarity with a range of analytical techniques and their application to dosage form design. ...
