Product Description

Archana Desai and Mary Lee

Gibaldi's Drug Delivery Systems in Pharmaceutical Care, an innovative new textbook, demonstrates how the modern clinical pharmacist can integrate knowledge in pharmaceutical sciences and therapeutics with appreciation of patient-specific factors to best meet patient needs.

This text seeks to make therapeutics a critical component of teaching about dosage forms and to make dosage forms and drug delivery systems an integral part of instruction in therapeutics. Concise objectives, helpful tables and figures, and a comprehensive glossary and list of references tie together concepts of traditional pharmaceutics and with therapeutics essential for everyday practice.

Each chapter represents a collaboration of a clinical pharmacist practitioner and a pharmaceutical scientist. This unique perspective takes the science of dosage form design and helps translate the theory into the pragmatic.

Special Features:

• Case studies and problems to help students get a better understanding of concepts
• Well-organized chapters with outlines and objectives
• Summary tables and helpful figures, along with reasonable compilations of original references
• Final sections with ‘Learning Points’ that reinforce essential material.
  

From the foreword
"This book will serve admirably as a text in pharmacy education where integration is sought between pharmaceutics and pharmacotherapy courses. All pharmacists will find this publication to be of great value in reviewing basic concepts."

-William J. Jusko, Phd
Professor and Chairman, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science
