Modern Pharmaceutics
Volume One
Basic Principles and Systems
Fifth Edition
by Edward R. Fisk

Modern Pharmaceutics is a completely updated edition with many new chapters that approach the role of pharmaceutics and its future paradigms in the design of medicines.

With the impact of biotechnology, gene therapy, and cell therapy, the core disciplines of pharmaceutics remain central. The editors argue that these become more important as the role of formulation personalized medicines becomes more acute.

New chapters:

• pharmaceutical physics
• the solid state
• methods of in vivo imaging of dosage forms
• personalized medicines that emphasize the theme of the application of basic pharmaceutical principles in modern therapeutics

The completely updated Fifth Edition brings together essential contributions from international thought leaders on:

• solid state drug delivery
• excipients, tablets, and aerosols (from physical chemistry to dosage form)
• new evaluation techniques for pharmaceuticals (such as gamma scintigraphy)
