Ansel’s Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems

The purpose of this text is to introduce pharmacy students to the principles, practices, and technologies applied in the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms and drug delivery systems.

Regulations and standards governing the manufacturing and compounding of pharmaceuticals are also presented.
