About the Book:

This is an established textbook that provides you with full coverage of the physicochemical principles essential to the modern pharmacist and pharmaceutical scientist. This sixth edition continues to boast a broad chemical and physicochemical base and covers every aspect of drug properties from the design of dosage forms to their delivery by all routes to sites of action in the body. Now with more clinical examples, new questions and extra case studies it encourages you to apply this knowledge and understand how these fundamental concepts relate to both clinical and industrial practice. It features brand new chapters/sections on: • paediatric and geriatric formulations • adverse events: the role of formulations and delivery systems • generic medicines and biosimilars • solid dose form manufacture Written by experienced academics and highly illustrated throughout, Physiochemical Principles of Pharmacy is an approachable and comprehensive resource that is perfect for supporting you through the physical pharmacy and drug delivery elements of pharmacy and pharmaceutical science courses.

About the Authors:

Alexander Florence was Dean of The School of Pharmacy, University of London from 1989 to 2006 and is Professor Emeritus at University College London. He was previously James P Todd Professor of Pharmaceutics at the University of Strathclyde. His interests are in drug delivery and targeting and nanotechnology. He is the author of an Introduction to Clinical Pharmaceutics, 2010, published by the Pharmaceutical Press.

David Attwood is Emeritus Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Manchester; he previously lectured at the University of Strathclyde. His research interests are in the physicochemical properties of drugs and surfactants, and in polymeric drug delivery systems. He has many years’ experience in the teaching of physical pharmacy. They co-authored surfactant system: Their Chemistry, pharmacy and Biology (Chapman and Hall, 1983) and FAST track physical pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Press, 2008, 2012).
