Main description:

Dosage Forms, Formulation Developments and Regulations, Volume One in the Recent and Future Trends in Pharmaceutics series, explores aspects of pharmaceutics, with an original approach focused on technology, novelties and future trends in the field. The book discusses the most recent developments in pharmaceutical preformulation and formulation studies, biopharmaceutics and novel pharmaceutical formulations, regulatory affairs, and good manufacturing practices. Exciting areas such as formulation strategies, optimization techniques, the biopharmaceutical classification system, and pharmaceutical aerosols are included.

The field of pharmaceutics is highly dynamic and rapidly expanding day-by-day, so it demands a variety of amplified efforts for designing and developing pharmaceutical processes and formulation strategies. This is an essential reference for researchers in academia and industry as well as advanced graduate students in pharmaceutics.
