PHARMACEUTICAL PREFORMULATION

This book addresses problems and solutions of formulation and preformulation with which I have concerned myself for 34 years. When I was employed in the pharmaceutical industry I worked at functions, in the 1960's, which were the precursurs of preformulation, and my early publications dealt with such matters. In the following decades advances have been made in methodology and the realm of preformulation has grown. Theory and the way in which problems are viewed have also undergone change.
The text deals with the pharmaceutical aspects of preformulation, not the synthetic nor the analytical aspects. It takes it vantage point at the point in time when the pharmaceutical preformulator first obtains a sample of the drug substance, and it explores the physical, chemical and technological aspects that are needed for a full exploration of the potential advantages and disadvantages of the drug substance. It is only through the understanding of underlying principles that adequate exploration can be carried out.The ''fast-track" approach to drug development advocated by many pharmaceutical companies today is an unhealthy click here for download

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDING AND DISPENSING

Accurate and effective pharmaceutical formulation is a key skill which must be mastered by all student pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians. This book is intended to be a guide to assist the student compounder in practising exercises relating to the key dosage forms encountered within extemporaneous dispensing.The book has been designed as a stand-alone revision text and summarises the key points behind the manufacture of common extemporaneous dosage forms, along with a series of worked examples and questions (with answers) for students to use for selflearning.
When a prescription is received for an extemporaneous product there are a number of considerations to be made prior to dispensing. Within each chapter, the worked examples section will take a number of different preparations and expand on their compounding using the following subheadings. click here for download

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY

Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology was developed in the early 1960s and was initially
used for filling many liquid product categories, for example, nonsterile medical devices,foods, and cosmetics. The technology has been developed to an extent that today BFS systems are used to asepticallyproduce sterile pharmaceutical products such as respiratory solutions, ophthalmics, and wound-care products throughout the world.The BFS technology is an advanced aseptic processing technique which allows plastic containers to be formed by means of molded extruded polymer granules, filled, and sealed in one continuous process. This differs from conventional aseptic processing where container formation, preparation, and sterilization, and container filling and closure are all separate processes click here for download

APPLIED PHARMACEUTICAL PRACTICE

The supply of medicines is a basic function of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. With the advent of clinical pharmacy and the introduction of ‘new roles’ for pharmacists, the content of pharmaceutical education has altered to reflect these additions. However, the supply of medicines remains a key component of the role of pharmacy within modern healthcare and, therefore, it is vital that all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are competent in medicines supply.
This text has been designed to guide the student pharmacist or pharmacy technician through the main stages involved in safe and effective medicines supply. The purpose of the book is to provide student pharmacists with a core reference text to accompany the compulsory dispensing courses found in all MPharm programmes. Additionally, it will be of equal value for student pharmacy technicians during their educational courses.To guide the reader through the different topics relating to medicines supply, this book has been divided into a number of different chapters. clik here for download
