Handbook of Excipients

The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is internationally
recognised as the world's most authoritative source of information on
pharmaceutical excipients.

It is the definitive comprehensive guide to uses, properties
and safety of excipients providing scientists and researchers with a one stop
resource when researching an excipient.
All of the 400+ monographs are also thoroughly cross-referenced and
indexed to allow their identification by chemical, non-proprietary or trade
names.

Extensive content updates in the new edition include:

- Over 420 fully referenced excipient monographs, many
including IR, Raman, and NIR spectra

- 13 new monographs including several amino acids and
hydrated silicon dioxide

- 250 existing monographs reviewed

- New chapters providing support to the formulator, such as
excipient selection for orally inhaled and also injectable formulations.
