This book is conceived to reflect the practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy. The contents of this book are an integral part of the syllabi prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India and Indian universities. This practical book covers whole of the experimental component specified in the syllabus. Authors have made special attempts to cover all aspects ranging from preformulation studies, dosage form design, product manufacturing process and evaluation. This book only discusses relevant information and has been written in simple, straightforward language. The main motivation behind this book was to cover all the important practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy I under one umbrella at an affordable price to encourage students to read and learn.
This textbook of Industrial Pharmacy I (B. Pharm V Semester) enables the student to understand and appreciate the influence of pharmaceutical additives and various pharmaceutical dosage forms on the performance of the drug product. The book provides detailed insight into the various pharmaceutical dosage forms and their manufacturing techniques. It also helps in understanding the various considerations in development of pharmaceutical dosage forms. The book provides various techniques of formulation solid, liquid and semisolid dosage forms and their evaluation, methods for assessment of their quality. It covers all the topics as prescribed in the latest syllabus prescribed by PCI including Preformulation Studies, Tablets, Liquid orals, Hard gelatin capsules, soft gelatin capsules, Pellets, Parenteral Products, Ophthalmic Preparations, Cosmetics, Pharmaceutical Aerosols and Packaging Materials Sciences.
This handbook features contributions from a team of expert authors representing the many disciplines within science, engineering, and technology that are involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing. They provide the information and tools you need to design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot a pharmaceutical manufacturing system. The editor, with more than thirty years' experience working with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, carefully reviewed all the chapters to ensure that each one is thorough, accurate, and clear.
Delivering the active medicament to the body system for a certain therapeutic action is the central idea of Pharmaceutical technology. A Pharmaceutical drug is delivered through various routes of administration with the help of various kinds of dosage forms. Moreover a drug product should be effective, safe and stable. All the aspects of pharmaceutical texts, dealing with drug delivery basically target these three issues The book covers -Basics of dissolution study, bioavailability and stability studies (and ICH guidelines) in detail with recent guidelines -Most common and popular dosage forms viz. tablet, capsule, parenterals, suspension and emulsion have been discussed Other topics discussed include controlled release products, oral protein delivery etc -USPs of the book are easy language, to the point coverage of topics, pictorial/graphical, tabular presentation and a glossary of official definitions of all important key words of Pharmaceutics. We hope that this book shall be very useful to students as well as teachers as ready source of basics of each and every covered topic.
This textbook is written as a unified approach to various topics, ranging from drug discovery to manufacturing, techniques and technology, regulation and marketing. The key theme of the book is pharmaceuticals - what every student of pharmaceutical sciences should know: from the active pharmaceutical ingredients to the preparation of various dosage forms along with the relevant chemistry, this book makes pharmaceuticals relevant to undergraduate students of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.This book explains how a particular drug was discovered and then converted from lab-scale to manufacturing scale, to the market. It explains the motivation for drug discovery, the reaction chemistry involved, experimental difficulties, various dosage forms and the reasoning behind them, mechanism of action, quality assurance and role of regulatory agencies. After having a course based on this book, the student will be able to understand: 1) the career prospects in the pharmaceutical industry, 2) the need for interdisciplinary teamwork in science, 3) the techniques and technology involved in making pharmaceuticals starting from bulk drugs, and 4) different dosage forms and critical factors in the development of pharmaceutical formulations in relation to the principles of chemistry.A few blockbuster drugs including atorvastatin, sildanefil, ranitidine, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, and the longest serving drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol are discussed in detail. Finally, the book also covers the important current pharmaceutical issues like quality control, safety, counterfeiting and abuse of drugs, and future prospects for pharmaceutical industry. - Unified approach explaining drug discovery, bulk drug manufacturing, formulation of dosage forms, with pharmacological and therapeutic actions - Manufacturing processes of representative active pharmaceutical ingredients and their chemistry plus formulation of dosage forms presented in this book are based on actual industrial processes - Covers many aspects relevant to students of the pharmaceutical sciences or newly employed pharmaceutical researchers/employees. It contains summary information about regulatory agencies of different countries
The PCP's Bicentennial Edition Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Twenty Third Edition, offers a trusted, completely updated source of information for education, training, and development of pharmacists. Published for the first time with Elsevier, this edition includes coverage of biologics and biosimilars as uses of those therapeutics have increased substantially since the previous edition. Also discussed are formulations, drug delivery (including prodrugs, salts, polymorphism. With clear, detailed color illustrations, fundamental information on a range of pharmaceutical science areas, and information on new developments in industry, pharmaceutical industry scientists, especially those involved in drug discovery and development will find this edition of Remington an essential reference. Intellectual property professionals will also find this reference helpful to cite in patents and resulting litigations. Additional graduate and postgraduate students in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences will refer to this book in courses dealing with medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutics. - Contains a comprehensive source of principles of drug discovery and development topics, especially for scientists that are new in the pharmaceutical industry such as those with trainings/degrees in chemistry and engineering - Provides a detailed source for formulation scientists and compounding pharmacists, from produg to excipient issues - Updates this excellent source with the latest information to verify facts and refresh on basics for professionals in the broadly defined pharmaceutical industry
