Description
Book SynopsisA student guide to the key dosage forms encountered in extemporaneous pharmaceutical compounding and dispensing.
Trade Review"Of value to new practitioners involved in compounding nonsterile pharmaceutical preparations...Each chapter starts with an overview of the dosage form followed by discussions of general methods, a number of worked examples, and then a self-assessment section...each chapter includes both key points and tips. The detail included in the examples in the chapters on dosage forms is exceptional...it delivers a practical guide for students whose curricula continue to provide didactic and practice experiences in compounding."
