Completely revised and updated, The Art, Science, and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding, 6th Edition covers all aspects of compounding including the regulatory, technology, scientific foundation, and clinical consulting regarding the dosage forms that can be compounded. It also contains example formulas for all dosage forms along with the ingredients, quantities, use of each ingredient, and instructions for preparation. In addition to formulation development including flavoring, sweetening, preservation and compliance and compatibility considerations, quality control and areas of potential errors are also presented. More than ever, there is a need for a practical compounding reference that integrates the science and practice of compounding while emphasizing the need for caution, innovation, and patient counseling. |
