The third edition of this well-known textbook uses pharmaceutical examples to illustrate the underlying physical chemistry of drug characterisation, formulation, delivery, transport and absorption. It should be invaluable to undergraduate students who are studying pharmacy, and pharmaceutical sciences and a valuable resource for students of medical sciences, pharmacology and toxicology. Postgraduates in a variety of disciplines who wish to update their knowledge of pharmaceutics will also find the book of interest. Each chapter is referenced. There are worked examples throughout the liberally illustrated text.
